“They wear hoods so I can’t see their faces, but they still terrify me with their slow, deliberate movements. Usually they just stand before me, swaying in unison, but something has made them restless.”

“Ouija Board Web by Stewart Stafford
Someone's been in my room,
Helped themselves to my beer.
Bottled my portal to escape,
And left behind a sober fear.
I guess I'll climb the silence,
To the mirror, if I'm still here,
Tap out a drowning rhythm,
To send an S.O.S. so clear.
A phantom knocking from within,
Coins rub my spirit board away,
Voices say breathe out and in,
Darkest night blurs into day.
Moth to the flame in a spider web,
Mummified to twist in the draught,
Here comes the eight-eyed sentinel,
To finish its ice-cold Arachnid craft.
