The Barghest

A barghest is something I don't want to see. This creature is a harbinger of death and tragedy. As I look behind me, it is following me closely. The barghest wants another victim, and it has its eyes on me. Resembling a dog which is man's best friend, it portends an egregious and untimely end. Dreadful barghest, I just want you to stay away. Go and stalk some other unfortunate today.

I really like that the barghest is disguised as a dog. It feeds my imagination.

I got the idea to write this piece from www.dictionary.com. "Barghest' is the word of the day on 10/29/15.
