Petrified

Horror-Struck

By The OmnichromiterPublished 6 months ago 1 min read

You see the world so closely

But do you see how it's changing?

Believing in something so distant.

Every night consumed by the same darkness.

As flesh turns to dust,

Memories fade until little is left.

The shape is there

The details are missing.

A change you won't notice

Until it's sunk its teeth in deep.

Only you have the ability to decide:

Is it good?

Is it right?

About the Creator

The Omnichromiter

I write stories like spells—soft at the edges, sharp underneath. My poems are curses in lace, lullabies that bite back. I don’t believe in happily ever after. I believe in survival, transformation; in burning and blooming at the same time.
