The Terrible Tale of Thornhill Thrash
A Fiendish Poem for Postmortem Fanatics of the Future

This is the tale of Thornhill🖤 Thrash,
born a ward of the S_t_a_t_e.
His mother killed his father,
before suffering a similar fate.
The B_o_d_y saved the baby,
but they may have acted too late.
Emerging from an artificial womb
A slap on the ass began an epoch of doom.
⚡_____________ ⚡
When Thornhill🖤 Thrash🪓 was five years old
the S_t_a_t_e gave him a pet.
His surrogate mother learned that day
she had good reason to fret.
When questioned about his bloody h🩸a🩸n🩸ds
he showed no regret.
He'd repeatedly 🔨🔨🩸🔨🔨🩸🩸🔨🔨🩸🩸🩸smashed the tiny creature's head.🔨🩸🔨🔨🩸🩸🩸🔨🔨🩸🩸🩸🩸🩸

He couldn't explain why he wanted to see it dead.🪦🏴⛈️

By the time Thornhill🖤 Thrash🦠🪡 was ten years old
he'd retreated into a shell. 🏳️
He learned from a priest he had to cease
or his soul 🖤 would go to hell.🖤❤️🔥🔥🔥
So he gathered his dreams and violent schemes
and cast them into a bottomless well.🌀⚡
He kept his 🖤⚡⚡🖤darkness🖤⚡⚡🖤 hidden in his 🖤heart🖤.
When acting "normal", he played the consummate part.
⚡😁👍
⚡_____________ ⚡
At the time Thornhill🖤 Thrash⚔️ Ascended
his infamy was portended
🎱
His designated profession was to see the dead attended.
His natural talent at torture🪓🩸🪝🗡️ was highly commended.
As a S_t_a_t_e Coroner, his aptitudes were given free reign.
He became the regime's foremost expert on pain.

Going forward, Thornhill🖤 Thrash🏴☠️⚡🏴☠️ lived a life of ease.🪓🩸🪝🗡️🔪🔨🩸🩸🩸🔥
Dealing daily with the dead and near-dead
his every appetite was appeased.
Collecting confessions and final words
and plaintive deathbed pleas...
None of his subjects ever had a chance to flee.
His savagery grew sharper by degrees.

He gained a reputation for being brash.
His inspired autopsies could not be surpassed.
In just fifteen years, he exceeded seven thousand served.
Every evisceration got the finesse that it deserved.
🩸🩸🩸🩸🩸🗡️🪝🔪🩸🩸🩸🩸🩸🩸
Developing a market for dying gasps under glass,
Commandeering, profiteering,
channeling funds into a private stash
Stealing secrets from the S_t_a_t_e
and securing a weapon's cache
🔪🪝🗡️🔪⚔⛈

He would hack🔪🩸 and slash🔪🩸 and stab🔪🩸!
Opening gaping gashes
with cat-o-nine-tail lashes,
A _storm flashes in the eyes of Thornhill🖤 Thrash⛈!
⚡ ⚡ ⚡ ⚡

Wandering spirits tell
Of how they're haunted in hell
By the memories of their time with Thornhill🖤 Thrash⚡⚡⛈.
⚡_____________ ⚡
By the time Thornhill🖤 Thrash🏴☠️⚡🏴☠️ reached middle age
the voices in his head were shrill.
Being an agent of the S_t_a_t_e had once been great,
but legal experiments no longer thrilled.
When he sat back and reflected
on all he'd ever killed,
The meagerness of his acts spawned deep depression,
He vowed to find new ways to feed his obsession.
⚡_____________ ⚡
When Thornhill🖤 Thrash⚡⚔⛈️ 🏴☠️ was fifty-five,
he began his life of crime.
He lured ladies back to his lair,
promising them a good time.
Even his earliest atrocities
were worthy of a nursery rhyme.
He broiled his victim's breasts in white cooking wine.
He prided himself on the delicacies on which he dined.
yummmmmmm🍽️mmmmmmm
⚡_____________ ⚡
By the time Thornhill🖤 Thrash⚡🏳️⛈retired from service,
he was averaging three murders a week.
His powers of polite persuasion
were at their seductive peak.
Because he used preservatives
none of his lovers reeked.
His freezer was always packed with strips of meat.
All the slippers in his closet were filled with feet.

Soon new concerns stirred Thornhill🖤 Thrash
he felt a need to share.
The thought his mighty vision might end
was more than he could bare.
So he gathered ⚡🖤⚡dark disciples⚡🖤⚡
who could kill with wicked flair.
At first his followers thought his religion odd,
But they came to revere him as the Knife of God.
⚡🏴☠️⚡ 🏴☠️⚡
⚡_____________ ⚡
When Thornhill🖤 Thrash⚡ renounced his sword,
his inner circle thought him insane!!
But he showed them all they still had cause
to fear his unholy name.
His minions raised a citadel
upon a forsaken plain.
Zealots came to hear Apocalyptic sermons preached.
No one possessed mental defenses he could not breach.

J_u_s_t_i_c_e reps caught up with Thornhill🖤 Thrash⚡
and the hundreds under his sway.
That morning he awoke from malignant dreams
knowing it was Judge_ment Day.
He issued the command to spread the fuel,
confident he'd be obeyed.
By the midnight hour, the compound was engulfed in flames.
By the next morning, the media was already laying blame.

The L_a_w was utterly impotent
against the madness of Thornhill🖤 Thrash🏴☠️⚡🏴☠️,
Outgunned and outsmarted,
J_u_s_t_i_c_e was goaded into acting rash.
💥💥💥🔫💥🔫⚡🔫⚡🔫💥⚡🔫
The battleground🩸 🩸 🩸 was🩸 🩸 🩸 bloody,🩸 🩸 🩸
littered with bodies and glass.
Thirty Peacekeepers were slain in the initial blast.
The sharp citadel was erased in a fiery flash.
🔥 🔥🔥 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

AND AS THE WALLS CAME TUMBLING DOWN..!
...the f_a_i_t_hful SCREAMED that they were FOUND!!!
⛈️ ⛈🌩️🌪️⚡⚡Thunderheads licked the lands⛈🌩️🌪️⚡⚡
with lethal⚡ _lightning lashes ⚡⚡⚡⚡
And a laser shot through his brains snuffed Thornhill🖤 Thrash⚡!
🏴☠️⚡ 🏴☠️ 📕 🏴☠️⚡ 🏴☠️
The Chronicle of Evil tells
How many souls came to Hell
Led that day by the ghost of Thornhill Thrash!

This was the tale of Thornhill Thrash...

My bah-rilliant fiend, this was horrifically fantastic. Have you seen the documentary film about the inspiration for "Psycho" on Netflix?
Perfectly gruesome words 👍
the tell tale heart of poe seems to still be beating-- this is a well-written but disturbing tale... especially since such cult followings are still alive and well...the diversity of your muse is incredible.
scary stuff wow
What a gory story, but a good horrifying story.
That's one person I'd never want to meet. Chilling, Bill.
