Madness Breeds Madness

the haunted ruins

of an immoral society,

left crawling in madness

 

the crumbling city

is alive with the virus

and dead with fear

 

heinous, rotten corpses

wander the earth;

thieves, abominations

who live only for

lust of the kill

 

they are a violation

of life, of the soul,

a mockery of our selves;

possessed by a feral

hunger for flesh

 

and they play their

perverted game of

“humanity”

    Awesome!

    What a fabulous, dark write, my friend! A really great commentary on society; especially the one we live in. I'm old enough that I remember this place before the madness set in. The lunatics, it would appear, are running the asylum. Scary thought; I'm truly afraid to see how much further it will go. You're a VERY talented writer. I wish you much success in your future career. Thanks, also, for reading "Red Hook Revisited-A Requiem," and leaving the kind comment. It is much appreciated.

    Awesome...

    Great take on the prompt & great use of the wordbank that makes for an impressive piece with wonderful imagery, smooth flow & a killer ending wrapped up in a strong narrative that enthralled throughout...
    Keep up the good work...
    Well done!!!

    To me, this paints a scene of some sort of zombie society! That thought is quite creepy actually. Zombies scare me. This is a very good write with good imagery and an enjoyable read. Thanks for entering and good luck.

      Yeah, zombies scare the crap outta me. I started watching horror movies when I was, like, 3 because my mom is too big a scardy-cat to watch them alone (as if a 3 year old can save her). So I don't scare easily, but zombies are my Achiles Heel.
