Challenge
My first challenge for you: Think deliciously dark and write a poem or short story reminiscent of the works of Edgar Allen Poe.
The Traveler of the Dark
I am a traveler of the dark
Where I go I leave my mark
Where I stop I cannot stay long
For me to stay forever simply wrong
I roam from town and country
Of this year and the next century
I hold no lover, children, or friend
Yet I meet them all at the very end
I know not why I wander
I know I may never travel yonder
To the worlds of light and despair
Yet I travel with little care
I am the visitor of who you do not weep
When the time comes I bid you a kiss in your cold sleep
