The Backwoods...
Deep in the backwoods, on our great, great grandfather's land, ancient, satanic rituals, for generations, were practiced there. ¤ The only light breaking the ominous, starless night were heated flames, licking at the malevolence floating in the air. ¤ Brothers and sisters, mothers and fathers, uncles and aunts, bodies and heartbeats swaying in rhythm to the somber, resonance of chants. ¤ Children quiver while animals quake at the sadistic debauchery being witnessed there. ¤ Breathing slows. With eyes of ICE, downcast eyes raise towards heaven, she gently releases the caustic captain of our fear. ¤

Trust me, it'd scare the bejesus out of you! Most of that memory belongs to ICE. I'll take that compliment and run with it! Also, thank you David for the read list, always an honor! Thanx, ➰

At times, I set sail for safer shores in our broken raft while one of the army deals with the strange happenings occuring. You can't set sail without a captain 'eh. Sound weird? That is our way of life.😉thanks for the feedback, always appreciated! SURVIVOR➰

the grace that flows from the terror of your pen is extraordinary... I enjoy your style... if not always the content...

I actually apologize for the content, however, I had no control over the content of our lives. Wishing at stars that I did, what a beautiful life I'd live. I'm attempting for a bit of diversity. Breaking it up & catching my breath, I'm aiming for. I appreciate the awesome compliments & opinions, Thanx, SURVIVOR➰
