The needle beckoned me
into salvation, promises
of everlasting life.
Who knew such demons
exists within the willing?
The needle was sharp, showing
no mercy like a philosopher
in a madman's dream.
Told me to do things, told me
to swallow until i saw blood
gushing from my victims mouth,
that sweet, sweet bitter taste.
Told me to play with the devious
for those who dared playing
beyond the minds eye.
Then the needle and I we
can be as one, bound by
our love of the sharp ones
and murder.
You better or the monster
will come out of your
daydreams, the needle
beckoned once more.
Spinning, Spinning, dancing
as my fetish grows and grows
out of control.
Mutilation holds the highest
degree above my sanity, when
I am making art for you
all to see.
For people will get to know
my friend, the accomplace,
my needle.
When we become one, nobody
will know of such madness
ever brought on by a
lady of great misfortuane.

Okay, OUCH! I was spinning, too, as I read this. When you can make the hairs on the back of your readers neck stand up, you've really hit the target -- excellent response to the prompt, but now I have to go turn on all the lights here! (A great read!)

I think you nailed it.
It's weird, but I found
I was holding my breath
by the ending lines...
You do dark damn well
Love, Lane

You have no idea where you have left me.
I am still sitting here trying to catch my breath.
This is astonishing and so breathtaking.
I see the frustration within your words
as the character in your piece is reaching out
Thank you for your entry
good luck in the contest
