Ella's Spooky Night of Terror
Ebon was the night and the road was winding.
The thunder struck and the lightning blinding.
One moment of peace Ella was intent on finding.
A good safe haven she was trying to discover,
a terrible gruesome occurrence she did uncover.
It was about the last time she saw her lover.
They had driven home from the Christmas ball.
He wore a black tuxedo, she wore an ivory shawl.
Memories of the perfect night she did recall.
When they arrived back home Joseph acted weird,
and another psychotic episode Ella had feared.
Unexpectedly, his other personality appeared.
His eyes turned crimson with sweat pouring
down his cheeks; the sight was so abhorring.
He no longer was affectionate nor adoring.
Ella was full of fright, for this happened before,
and she didn’t know if she could take much more.
Little did she know all the horror that was in store.
Just then she saw an apparition in the old mirror,
she shouted in fear then saw the face clearer.
It was her dead mother who was coming nearer.
She reached through the glass and pulled her hair,
Ella’s eyes open wide and she began to stare.
Why this was happening she was very unaware.
Face down Ella fell to the floor and passed out,
then awoke in a panic and began to shout.
She had no clue what this madness was about.
Joseph came running and Ella saw his fury,
her eyes were wet from sweat, he looked blurry.
She got up fast and ran to the attic in a hurry.
Whenever Joseph’s mind changed its personality
he acted like he was drowning in immortality.
Ella never understood this strange mentality.
She heard screeching and intense exasperation,
so she ran back down there in severe desperation.
Then she saw her mother’s ghost in transformation.
She turned into a demon with blood descending
down from her emerald eyes so transcending.
Joseph’s neck she seemed to be apprehending.
Right in front of her eyes she sucked out his soul,
drank up his essence and swallowed him whole.
Even though she feared him, her husband she stole.
This demon was spine-chilling right to the bone,
but this deep insanity she could not condone.
She took a flame from the fireplace made of stone,
in a mania she threw it to the demon with might.
In an instant she saw a medallion flashing light.
The demon blazed into ash, gone from sight.
Her knees bowed and hands grasped her face,
her husband she could no longer embrace.
Her mother became a demon from a hellish place.
She knew not what to do except run to her car,
and drive somewhere else extremely far.
She was still in shock from a night so bizarre.
And…
Ebon was the night and the road was winding.
The thunder struck and the lightning blinding.
One moment of peace Ella was intent on finding.
