"Good evening" said the barman "would you like a drink ?"
I took a glass of brandy, I needed time to think.
"The bitch is dead" I told him, the barman looked quite pale,
I drank a double mouthful, then told him my sad tale.
She ripped my heart to pieces, then laughed right in my face,
I called a guy I’d heard of, he met me at my place.
"Death is just too good for her, the bitch should rot in hell"
He smiled and then he answered, would you like a spell ?
'The box of demented voices', I’ve got one going cheap
it drives the sane to madness , kills them while they weep.
He handed me the box , with serpents either side,
I bought it without thinking, compassion in me died..
I hid the box inside her house, her first screams were the best,
screams of mortal torment, a soul in pain posseseed.
She did not die the first night, she reeked of foul decay,
her skin was drawn and sallow, her mind a black bouquet.
Next nights screams were better, anguish bathed in pain,
I heard her beg for mercy, I heard her beg again.
The last time that I saw her I gloated at her dread,
her eyes were black delusion, the light within them dead.
Her skin had cracked and festered, her lips were pale and torn,
insanity inside her, her face it did adorn.
They buried her this morning, my vengeance is now whole,
the price will be my penance. The box cost me my soul.

Awesome tale of revenge. You've got a creepy, but superb imagination! Thanks for entering my contest and showing your work here. It's an honor to read it

an interesting story you've told here, you've taken something common, a bar patron telling his troubles to the bartender, but put a very dark twist to it, nice job....thanks for entering!

Whoa! Who needs blood with imagery like this! Wow, I love how you told this, so creative. I much prefer sending to hell than murder
More fun to be had this way. The twisted torment here is beautiful, where can I get that box? 
A wicked write, thanks for entering and good luck
