Malevolent

Oh hello there! Again! Aah! Yes! You there! Such lovely young pretty plaything, a female? I presume? With the beautiful expensive suit! I am just seeing you there like a dream of crimson and horror! Oh sorry! At my age, your mind starts to wander. And a Wanderer I am! A wanderer in pursuit! Where are you going my dear, boy or girl I don’t care. Can I follow you there? I stay very near?! Oh don’t mind me, I’m just a wanderer you see! I am just bringing light to the world a bringer of light a bearer of sight if you will. Oh is it? Is true you just live down the avenue? I see! Can I walk with you a little, please? This is a mighty fine place you have here, a beautiful quaint little town, quaint and clear… all nestled back in the valley. Hummm! Yes. Indeed! No one can hear you screa-rrr-I mean no one can hear you in a quaint little place! What is that? Oh! Yes! Indeed! I’m sorry you may be worried but don’t you fear I’m quite harmless, don’t you see? What are you seeing? Oh, that! that’s just ravens wings tucked neatly near a bone-white spine and onyx claws! Nothing to see, here… Oh, my fingers? Oh so long, sleek sharp like razors strong to rip you apart. Sorry sorry, pardon me! No need to run! No need to struggle Daggers slicing your flash! Oh! I’m sorry did I mean to hurt you! I am just passing through a wanderer you see. A light bringer of fire and rage! On my way to the Detonation Fields Feeling my way through this blasted world. Laughing at the powers that be! Wait for the wormwood to fly… Oh! Don’t worry about me! Can’t you see I’m not staying, just passing through! I bring you fear and loathing. But don’t you worry I am everything! Everywhere! I know you are alone but come closer, a little closer, please. So, I can see you in this empirical twilight. No need to struggle…. My fingers are strong, indeed… Tightening, as you struggle to breathe Can’t you speak? No, I guess your crimson mouth speaks, NOT! Don’t struggle so… I’m just a wanderer, you know… I have such sights to show… So come with me to the Holocaust! Can you feel the infernos heat… Hear the damned scream. Sweet music! Don’t you hear it too? OH, sooooo sweet! Ah YES! Yes… indeed.
