The Locked Room: Whispers of Anubis

In a dark, dark room, an eerie aura surrounds; deathly whispers crawl in the air, sounding like incantations. A sarcophagus lays still in the room, whispers oozing out of it; no one knows that the sarcophagus is a portal to the Underworld, where Anubis and his cohorts reign. Only the Book of Ra; its jacket containing the symbol of the Scarab Beatle, that can chase away the whispers, and curses from the whispers. The evil dead continue to be undead, 'til when the Destined One finds Ra's Book, and chants the verses that he sees....... ………………………………………………………………………………… ''Dark things happened there....'' they say, with fading tones, almost reaching their vanishing point, due to unhidden fright. Sometimes they hear eerie moans; see dancing shadows on the space between the door and floor; other times whispers that make them feel as though they will shatter like hollow glass tubes. To stop the haunting, they hired spiritualists to seal the room's door with their divine will. Candles flicker in the night, as voices of the undead wander across the corridors..... (The first verse is a poem titled “Whispers of Anubis”, which was published on 8/9/2014. The second verse is a poem titled “The Locked Room”, which was published on 25/4/2014. I have divided both poems with a dotted line.)
