Author's Notes: "Death and Forlorn Time in the Shadows of True Evil" is a Quintain-style poem that I had co-authored in close collaboration with my very talented colleague, Liam McDaid. In this Horror-Fantasy write, which is the first one of these we've mutually done in a while, we wanted to consider a motif predicated upon the abstract notions of "Death" and "Time" as they could be applied in a fantasy-metaphor concerning the "shadows of true evil," which, of course, find their related origins of mischief, terror, and evil-doings against all of Mankind in the hands of Lucifer himself—The Great Tempter of Mankind!! We both worked diligently to develop some interesting metaphoric-images for each of the four Quintain stanzas in this write. We also wanted to release this one now, before arriving too close to the start of the Christmas season since the Halloween season has already passed us by. Enjoy!!
