What lurks in the shadows?
The clock ticked & tocked
Sasha woke up with a start
What time was it?
She stared at her notes
Euh, not bad, for now
The moonlight was her guide
The frogs croaked outside
She wished they would stop
When they did she smiled
She marched off to bed
With no thoughts of her work
Running in her head
As soon as her head hit the pillow,
Something had moved past the willow
It watched Sasha all night long
Just waiting for the right moment
To get closer to her~ in the shadows-
Later on it would find a way to have—
Her beating heart....right in its jaws!

Eep!
There is no place to hide child
The Shadow Man pointed at Stella
She lay still and quiet
Not making any sound
Fear creeped in
It smiled
Eep!
Eep!
It smiled
Fear creeped in
Not making a sound
She lay still and quiet
The Shadow Man pointed at Stella
There is no place to hide child
#Eep!

Never stare into their eyes 0.0
A piercing scream is heard
From all corners of the Victorian town
Town that starts to lose all its power
Power grid’s been hit by lightning
Lightning flashes across in the sky
Something with razor sharp teeth
Teeth ready to take a giant bite
Bite into someone’s chest
Chest containing the main prize~heart
This thing loves to take
Take away human hearts
Hearts to hold & then eat
Eat ‘n’ enjoy in one chomp
Pray that it does not come
Come by your side tonight
Tonight the shadows will follow
Follow the scent to human flesh
No one can defeat these shadows
Shadows that have been around forever
Forever tormenting folks here
Here in this little town
Are you afraid of shadows?
Shadows that look like beasts
Beasts that can take control over you
You must never stare into their eyes 0.0

METASTASIS
Bob clapped his hands, and the lights to the kitchen turned on. He opened his fridge to check the leftovers he had.
He stared at the bowl of noodles. Then there was another dish: fried rice.
Decisions, decisions.
The fridge door was pushed gently. He smiled. Now he was ready to have more of the fried rice. He could have it for any meal of the day: breakfast, lunch, or even dinner.
Bob clasped his hands, and blessed his food. The moment that he was about to dig into his meal, the lights went out.
‘Ugh.’
He walked away from his meal and tried flicking the light switch. Nothing. He stood still for a while, and then something caught his attention.
‘Hello? Is anybody there?’
Bob shook his head. He was not a kid anymore. Was he really still afraid of the dark?
He turned around and just right there he spotted another one. The shadow snarled. It dashed forward towards Bob.
Bob quickly ran up the stairs. He shut the door and hid under his bed.
‘It’s only a dream. A bad dream.’ He said to himself.
Then he heard the sound of the door. The squeak made him jump.
From his current position, all that Bob saw was a dark fog growing in his room. It reached his mouth in a few seconds. He tried to fan it away with his hands, but he ended up sucking some of the dark fog into his mouth.
He coughed, and coughed. Trying to get it out of his body. He felt his heart begin to pound in his chest.
Bob started feeling dizzy. Was the room getting smaller? His body shook and he gasped for air, as if he was drowning. The shadows had won.
His eyes became grey just like smoke. He could not see any thing.
Bob screamed. The last thing that ran in his mind was the thought of how scrumptious the fried rice would have tasted for another go.
The lights came back on right after the shadows vanished. Bob lay quietly and still under the bed. The shadows had taken another life & heart, too.

Ce Cœur <3
The shadow bent down on his knee, and lowered his head, then it presented the heart to The Shadow Man. This pleases him so much that he chuckled.
His laugh startled the crows near the Black forest. The Shadow Man took hold of the beating heart. He held the heart with his claws.
‘‘This heart has been through hell. I can tell. It had managed to still fall in love. How sweet.’’
The Shadow Man made a face and said, ‘’Yuck. Humans and there need for bonding. This heart also seems heavy.
‘’Oh, his love left town. Well, why didn’t he follow her? No way— she had a family.
‘’She did not tell him. Man. That does hurt.
‘‘Anyway, now thanks to my pack of shadows, this guy will not have to worry about a thing- not at all!’’
The Shadow Man opened his mouth wide. The heart went down his throat and straight to his belly.
*burps*
‘‘Excuse me.’’
The Shadow Man smacked his lips. ‘‘This heart was a bit sad. This is why I can not send a shadow to do my work.’’
The shadow apologized. It bowed & left its master to search for a less blue heart.

Henri & Melon
Henri fell on his bottom. He raised his hands and asked for forgiveness.
The thing took hold of Henri by his collar & sank its teeth into Henri’s chest. Henri did his best not to cry, but tears streamed down his face like a river.
He heard his cat hiss.
‘‘No,’’ Henri tried to shout, ‘‘Melon get out of here.’’
Melon leaped into the air. As soon as it approached the creature, it was hit by the side by a giant blade. The edge of the weapon had created a deep cut by the cat’s neck.
Henri sobbed. He was tossed on the ground right by the cat’s side.
All he had wanted was to watch the stars and spot the constellations in the night sky. Now he wished he could turn back the clock, & just stayed in his room.
The thought of dying on the rooftop had never crossed his mind. Ç’est triste.
Henri used his last strength to crawl to his cat’s side. He felt rain drops fall on his face.
The rain slowly sent Melon’s & Henri’s blood right down the rain gutter. Henri placed one hand on Melon’s neck.
He closed his eyes while the rain continued to pour and mix the blood of Henri and Melon. Their blood flowed together down the gutter.

EONS
They wait in the darkness
Growing ever hungry with each passing moment
Most call them shadow creatures, or simply: shadows
No one knows where they came from-
Some folks say they have been there since the dawn of time
Even before the invention of fire
The earlier community had tried to destroy them
All things seemed to be getting better
Until he arrived...The Shadow Man
He led the shadows into the Black forest
From there many thought they were safe at last
But things only became somewhat more scary
The Shadow Man was able to change the shadows form
They could blend in taking a human appearance
Or just take over a human’s body, mind and soul
Once that happens you might be added to the shadow pack
Some nights we stay up, keeping watch in the night
Staying awake to keep an eye on the candle light
Once it blows out, we strike another match
Hoping the little ray of light will keep the shadows away.

Phantasmagoria
Pretty how leaves fall on the ground
Hear the owls hootin’ in the night
As the whispers echo in the breeze
Now the shadows start to gather
Tearing someone limb from limb
Another unlucky soul loses their head
Shadows chew the meat off the bones
Making them pleased ‘n’ mor’ hungry
Ah— see them begin to grin widely
Giants tremble whenever they’re near
O~ they fear the shadow man’s army
Raised to spread out across many
Islands, villages, across cities, & towns
Anything that faces them never live to see the light of day!

Carry On
Chad sneezed & stared at the eyes glowing in the dark—
‘‘Ah!’’ He jumped out of his bed and ended up sliding on the floor, because of his socks. He bumped his head on the floor & it was lights out for him from there.
Rising sounds of sirens buzzed in his ears. Chad slowly opened his eyes, but he couldn’t see a thing.
Rays of light burst through and he covered his eyes.
‘‘You are welcome here.’’ Chad stared at the being standing in front of him. ‘‘who are you?’’
‘’Oh— I’m the Shadow Man..
‘‘Nice to have you join us...in my realm.’’
