Stealthily he creeps upward
Impinging not a creak on the stairs
Lips sealed, ears listening for any sound…
Emerging from the dank cellar …
Necrotic, rotting carcasses
Caught in the final blast
Encompass only silence

That was great, the creepiest kind of silence.
Thought provoking. When I saw the image I thought maybe it was Chucky doll.
Brilliant!
