The city built their temple on top of an ancient secret: levels upon level of #catacombs, the resting place of their ancestors. It was meant to be in their honour. Their wisdom empowered the oracles.

But the spirits wanted to be left alone to sleep. They did not appreciate it

Moving into their new house was exciting
Until the sunset & the unusual #scratching began
It moved from the walls to the ceiling
Following them from room to room

A #gaunt man with skin stretched emerged,
Staring with savage hunger…

I entered the antique shop to an awful smell. “Find the source!” My boss said; ran to her car like the #oasis it was.
I’d expected a rat crushed to a #pulp or a #putrescent fruit, but my search led to…an #amulet?
I poked it. Darkness oozed out.
Ah, a 𝘩𝘢𝘶𝘯𝘵𝘦𝘥 amulet.

They had expected it, but the sheer horror of the castle guards froze them in their tracks. The #putrescent stench, rotted skin, empty eye sockets, bloodless lips. Skull cracked to reveal maggoty brain matter inside.

It took short work to put them to rest. It was a mercy.

What's the deal? it was the longest line out there in sins longest corridor.

Let's dance said the devil, soon we're all out of order..

..crossing that border! soon out in that carnival..

..absence of tranquility; what, no hero or anti-hero?

Her katana did not melt because it was protected by the magic of warriors who forged it in the heat of battle from pure steel.

A section of the library was devoted to #lurid tales. He immediately saw gaps in the rows of books. Thirteen books missing.

"Which books have been taken? Find out!"

The librarian tracked down every volume. She said, "Each one about a specific murder...and a bloody way of killing."

She stared at him with #hollow eyes. Whatever spark she had was no more. Her soul erased, her sense of joy, of wonder, of adventure was completely gone.

They reduced her no little more than a minion.

He sighed and gave her the killing orders. It wouldn't be traced back to him.

Music drew me inexorably to a cafe.
The pianist, fingers a #blur played as if in a trance—an #oracle relaying the answer to a #mystery.
The song filled the #hollow #ruin of my heart; erased each cold, #lurid #fable there with a #blush of warmth.
