The Evil Specter

“I’m sorry,” she whispered “Didn’t mean to slap your face.” His cheek stung, voice quivered “How did I get to this place?” She twisted his emotions until he believed every word she said and made him forget she came from the house of the dead Her mother was born an evil witch turned her father into a ghost This girl was a phantom serving the devil as a host She’d tricked many men before him by crushing their heart and soul Using dark magic to conform them until she gained control Friend’s prayed “cast her out” too many times to mention He was saved from this specter by Divine Intervention 02/24/2021 Written for Ghost Poetry Contest Sponsored by Julia Ward
