The Hunt
Banner by Alain :-)
Sunset
Cold wind on my flesh
I awaken to find the day has once again died away
I do not mourn it's death
I celebrate the birth of the night
It is my life
Here in the shadows
Away from the dreaded sunlight that would reveal my true nature
Walking along the avenue
The people pass by
Never knowing the danger they are in
Never realizing they have happened upon a monster
Hungry and ready to strike
I search for my victim,
Seeking the ones that will not be missed
Stepping into a dark alley
I know I am being followed
I turn to face my enemy
He is young, but already hardened by life's misfortunes
He sees what he has followed, and screams
He begins to run farther into the darkness
I take him down swiftly
Claws ripping, teeth gnashing, he sees no more
He is devoured in a matter of minutes
Sated, I return to the avenue
I walk until nearly dawn and then return to my hiding place
To sleep away another day
And rise the next night in search of another victim.
