The monster calls from down the hall
I run so fast, I trip and fall.
He´s getting closer; I hear his breath.
Certain death upon my chest.
Heart pounds so strong it sounds so loud.
His deathly growls, heart racing at a dangerous pace.
He´s all so close, I feel his touch.
I scream in panic, his touch so cold.
My skin crawls as yet again I fall.
Eyes wide shut a heart still put.
Silence falls, my eyes a gaze.
Wild in flame my game has gone.
What! He´s all gone!
Madness I cry.
Too late, hope fades and I met my fate.
About the Creator
Jack Wayne Arnett
I enjoy writing in many genres. My favorite is horror, but I also enjoy poetry, romance and military life. I love the challenge of writing outside my comfort zone as a challenge. I live in Riverside, California and have 5 daughters.

Release of Reason
Some bizarre test, the line of what is sane and insane is broken without a pause. A moment in memory takes flight and the measure of life lays on the line. Seething anger grows over time and the balance is on the line. Forever dwells in that moment, hope remains unseen. Pushed to the brink, it all falls apart. Life no longer has meaning and sanity shatters. Her life in the monsters hands pleads but his mind splinters. What measure of a man has he become. Just a turning point in time, nothing predictable. Her life wanes as his breaks. His eyes meets hers as the grey of lifelessness sets in. Splintered again, the agony of what he's done crushes his heart and very soul. He pleads with her to come back. His senses corrupt and reason released, her breath has ceased. Cries of remorse, he cannot reverse his course. He draws a blade from the drawer, he cuts. Soon he too, is never more. Can nothing undo his release of reason. Falls to the floor like the passing season. What evils can form is beyond all reason.

*** I'm keen to republish the interviews I did for my series with Vocal creators. It's been a few years and I thought it might be nice to revisit these wonderful conversations. I'll be releasing them one at a time for a few weeks/months.
