Warped Reality
All the time I was descending into that deep, dense cavern of a hole
Between my shoulders an uneasy crick appeared and seemed to slip into my soul.
Overhead, jagged, stalactites hung, daring any to allow this cave to be explored
Mystic webs floated within the shadows, trailing over rocks marked and scored.
Illusions I discovered, some buried, some cast by an evil mind, ate at my very soul
Numbing fear suddenly binds me and I am falling ever faster and deeper into the hole.
At the last minute I stop, hearing, angry sounds and howls in the shadows cast
Then I see a creature grotesque and ancient; a nightmare ripped from my past.
In the mists, the cloying stench of the mutilated destruction claws at my nose
Opting my brain to scream,'run', but too late the creature has come in close.
Nightmares everywhere fade, reality winks in and slowly I become aware
So maybe, I'll buy, just one more ticket, 'Abominations', is a really cool scare!
