A Dark/Emotional Contest

Ok, this is going to be a bit weird, so bear with me.

First, this is an options/wordbank contest, so make sure you follow them, otherwise I won't count your entry.

Second, this is not a normal dark contest, with just scary things, it's a dark contest to do with bad, or evil things, so be inventive!

Thirdly, I want lots of gruesome, awful, scary, evil Imagery, the sort that makes your blood curdle, as well as the sort that makes you think about things that seem normal, but perhaps aren't...

Right, the options, and please don't take them at face value, be creative, and twist them.

1. A natural Disaster of some kind, which leaves one person alive

2. A Psychopath's/sociopath's Mind

3. Abandonment, of any sort, and the feelings behind them

4. Noises in the Night

5. A Bloody death, by any means, from any perspective

WORDBANK

Dead/Death
Pain
Sadness/Sad
Hurt
Emotion
Red
Blood
Thought
Mind
Evil
Bad
Love
Passion
Alone
Dark

When you submit a poem, please put either the option, or wordbank in the author notes, so I know which it's supposed to be.

Good Luck!

Ah yes! If any of you are interested in Dark stuff, Please consider joining the group 'The Cave'.
