I WILL RETURN


Source:


Stop me.
Cage me.
Bury me.
Beneath the house.
In the dungeons.
I will return
And take back the town.

BENEATH END HOUSE



THE DEAD GAME — BENEATH END HOUSE 

   Horrified by the deformed creatures, Linda slipped and lost her hold on the slimy rocks. She began to free fall through space…down into the nether reaches of End House. Flashing through her mind were disturbing images of the creatures living beneath the house. Were they somehow related to the creatures that drifted through town? Would she become one of them once she reached the bottom of the tunnel? Was there even a bottom to the tunnel? Would she continue falling forever? How…
    Todd’s booming voice interrupted her wild jumble of thoughts. Into the deep unyielding silence, Todd had yelled out, “Stop!” The tunnel obeyed his order and transformed itself back into stairs with the evil creatures retreating to wherever they’d come from.
    They were standing once again on top of the sweeping staircase. 
Let the games begin.

Once you step inside Oasis,
There’s no turning back.

THE END


The End
Life has come to an end.
Time has run out for me.
Evil one of the night,
He is strong as can be. 
The winds rise in fury,
Calling him by his name.
He is known as the Wolf,
Who made The Dead Game.
A hand grabs hold of me.
Wolf has taken me down.
To his dark netherworld,
To tunnels under the town.​
I roam the bleak dungeons.
Death wants to be my friend.
I refuse to drink blood,
On this, ​I will not bend.
In this maze of horror,
I track it round and round.
I will seek a way out
Till I fall to the ground. 
My love must soon find me.
Please, Todd, ​take me from here.
The walls are closing in,
One more night I can’t bear.​

IT’S BEGUN



tunnel

The staircase gives way.
Linda slides into its deadly grasp.
A tunnel envelopes her.
Hands reach out for her.
Will I reach the bottom?
Is there even a bottom to this madness?
Who lives beneath End House?
Will I become one of them?
Into the unyielding darkness 
Comes the cry, “Stop!”
Linda looks up to find Todd and Shana,
Clinging to the rocky walls.
The staircase reappears.
They climb to the front door.
Linda pulls on the handle.
It won’t budge.
“Open!” echoes in the hallway.
At Todd’s command,
The door opens for them.
The house pushes them out,
Slamming the door behind them.
Too terrified to glance back at Todd,
Linda races ahead to the car.
I can’t believe I was actually
Falling for him.
Linda’s problems have just begun.

FLORIDA SINKHOLE


sinkhole

A sinkhole where the house has stood
Lies deep in the deserted wood.
Where has everyone gone to?
The grass and trees are gone too.

A house and garden have once stood here.
Now there is only the ground laid bare.
Could they be in the tunnels below
And hear me if I yell out hello?

I hear rumbling coming from the hole.
The loose rocks are beginning to roll.
I should leave before it’s too late,
And I suffer the same sad fate.

A DOOR IN THE FOREST




A DOOR IN THE FOREST


 The house is gone.
All that's left is ash
And the door.

The door to the dungeons.
Where The Dead lived
And died.

I can see dark shadows
In the distance.
Are they coming for us?

I thought they were all gone.
What happened to The Dead?
Are they gone or still lingering?

The earth is rumbling.
The door is shaking.
We'd better leave.

Right Now!

LOST



Lost to a world of death.
Far beneath the earth.
Trapped for centuries.
Never seeing the light.
Night never turning into day.
A family lost to the dark.
Driven crazy by despair.
Locked in dark chambers.
For eternity.
Lost to the world of the damned.
Only one could save them.

BENEATH THE CITY

BENEATH THE CITY
Take me down the road.
All the way down.
Beneath the city.
To what lies below.
To the deepest depths.
Where no one dares to tread.
This is reality.
This is the city.

THE EVIL IN ME



Hee Hee!
Come and see
what I have for thee.
A boiling cauldron.
A spell or two.
Banished vampires.
Beneath the earth.
That was me.
Living in tunnels.
Roaming the dungeons.
For eternity.
My proud achievement.
The tourists frolic in the sand.
Even the residents have no clue
as to the evil lying beneath it all.
Hee Hee!

BENEATH THE TOWN




What lies hidden beneath End House?
Familiar faces and bony countenances.
A cacophony of moans and sounds.

A community of creatures living in the tunnels.
Friends who might be returning to the living,
Or the living who might be joining The Dead.
David grabs hold of Tim’s hand,
One of his long lost friends.
Tim stands stiff and tall, not responding.
Howard shuffles forward.
Howard had been the daring one,
The one who’d saved Tim from the dark pool.
The town looks like Oasis, 
With its beaches, stores, cafes, parks, and hotel.
The forest looms dark and forbidding in the distance.
But where are the people?
The stores stand empty.
“There, they are!” Linda calls out.
A group of people walk down Main Street.
No smiles crossing their deathly pale faces.
No emotions from these sad replicas of humanity.
Something is wrong.
No one is happy to see us.
“Let’s get out of here!” Linda yells.
The group before them lurches forward,
Arms extended like bare branches in the winter cold.
Her friends back up in fear.
“But they’re our friends,” David says,
“We can’t leave them here.” 
His eyes plead for help.
Linda drags him away from the red-eyed mob.
“Our friends are gone.
These aren’t are friends any longer.”
A man grabs hold of Linda’s long hair.
She lets loose a heart-wrenching cry,
Frightening the pale creature away.
Linda takes one last look at Oasis.
They look like members of our town,
But yet they aren’t.
The door slams shut,
Separating them from the empty shells.
Linda follows her friends out of the dark. 
THE DEAD GAME continues in Book 2
to be released in 2017.
