Wild Game...

Shadows run wild in the night
He goes with them hand in hand
Evil thoughts take off in flight
Spreading terror through the land

Nightmares ooze from a leaking brain
Footsteps echo to nervous ears
Blackened skies threaten rain
All this heightens latent fears

Now, he says; I've got the proper feel
I have added spice to life
It really makes for a better meal
When I finally use my knife

Terror, fright and horror too
Makes the meat so tender
I really like what it does to you
Not like food from a vendor

Wild game is what I crave the most
It really tastes the best
There's nothing like fear on toast
That recipe stands the test

I chase the sobs into your dreams
Only you can see me there
The neighbors hear your muffled screams
As I grab you by the hair

No help is going to come to you
We are here, just you and me
Hiding out in here is fun
Your head is the place to be

Roscoe Llane,

Religion will rip your faith off, and return
for the mask of disbelief that's left.

your eyes and I'll be there
Whispering in your ear
You never know just how or where
I feed upon your fear. Haaa, haaa, haaaa

Thanks Roscoe, ~ Gee

I have been trying to recreate Killer in a new image.
He had lost something for awhile.
I think he had become too funny!
I want him to have humor, but not be comical.
I also want him to explore his philosophical side.
We think he is getting there. He will still be a champion of the weak and
helpless and he will still be savage, but I think that he will be the better Killer!
You don't need to leave the light on, Killer loves you.

No wonder Digit is away on holiday,
when he sees these words,
he will only think of his inadequacy.
Great write young delver into fear.
I am so glad I live over here,
Yours Ian.T
