And the Demons Roam

THIS WAS WRITTEN IN THE EARLY 90'S IT WAS AND IS APART OF A BOOK PRELUDE TO EACH CHAPTER..SCARY YES... Let the children sleep cause soon they'll weep in the dark of night with nary a light and the demons roam thru out the home... the home.. . the home... and creatures creep when blood they seek and when the tale is told of the days of old a time will come beware our young... our young.... our young...... When it comes to feed while the children sleep and the night is dark and fear's in our hearts cause at last he's free and the children sleeps and sleeps..... and sleeps...... would love the feedback on this...as there are more

I miss that...loved Poe growing up -- and childhood was such a mysterious, and, sometimes, gloriously fearful place. Don't enjoy the horror movies of today...too gory -- they say too much -- leaving nothing for one's own tremulous imagination.

Too true! As a child, I loved to creep into my eldest sister's room and pretend to be a mountain lion, monster, demon or whatever to scare the hell out of her in the middle of the night (but it was a lot more fun when I did it in bootcamp)! Aloha! Rico
