Cadaverous Climate Controlled Cave Creature

Cadaverous climate controlled cave creature (Idea birthed, engendered, and germinated from Lombok Indonesia earthquakes On 5 August 2018, a destructive and shallow earthquake measuring Mw 6.9 (ML 7.0 according to BMKG) struck the island of Lombok, Indonesia), rendering Johnny on the spot, Jack of all trades able, eager, ready, and willing to rig up much sought after jakes, which swash buckling evinced by Mother Earth makes civilians mercilessly rocked, and rolled far only a blink of eye as ground shakes if superstitious, one proselytized that a monster wakes. Nary a chink of illumination pierces thru thick cavernous rock solid chamber home to this crepuscular anchorite, who spent untold countless chunks of time holed up deep underground initially to escape deadly blight, that afflicted vast swaths of twenty first century long fostered civilization, the post apocalyptic scattered remnants forced into subterranean redoubts reliant on stowed away tallow uber wax to forge poorly guided niggardly flickering burning candlelight where quotidian ritual entails doth dight this Jainist Joplin ascetic, who already donned the mantle, sans adjustment to darkened myopic eyesight imposing keen aural habituation to discern, and distinguish any fright full scurrying, skittering, slithering, unseen presence triggering thine nostril to sneeze, which nasal (gesundheit) claxon serves to scarify author who doth ghostwrite shadowy silhouetted height giving infinitesimal pause, thence worry free insight since my judicious jumbled juxtaposed metaphorical jacklight philosophies, viz Jainism, Jesuit, and Judeo-Christian allows no cavil, indiscriminate killing, nor *****sapien superiority toward multitudinous life forms instilled into former existence as good Samson Knight, now effectively embedded, entombed, and interred within bowels of the Earth over eons metamorphosed into lignite millenniums later human canticle for Leibowitz written (a big beautiful mess) refrains from conveying petrifying, mortifying, and horrifying dystopian future) softly enunciating such psalms disappointingly strives to wield might to eternal night, whereat those buried alive unjustly condemned to perdition plight enduring a slow torturous death - quite as muffled cries weakly lament, this haint right name one reasonable rhyme trumpeting as supreme sight.
