The Pachyderm

Nightmare #27:

He clutched the metal clasp that hung at his neck.  At first glance, we thought it was a necklace.  On second look, this fastening was part of his person.  With a thumb and index finger, he forced it and with a jerk, began to unzip his skin - as if removing a jacket.  The ripping sound of each notch, as he pulled its closure over his chest and down to his stomach, echoed in the dark room like nails down a chalk board.

Blood and organs oozed from the opening. 

The newly emerging creature chuckled.

We screamed.

And screamed.

And stood frozen in place.

The creature spoke only once before beginning its feast, “And here I thought the circus was just winding down.”

The Raven

"And the Raven, never flitting, still is sitting, still is sitting  
On the pallid bust of Pallas just above my chamber door; 
And his eyes have all the seeming of a demon's that is dreaming, 
And the lamp-light o'er him streaming throws his shadow on the floor; 
And my soul from out that shadow that lies floating on the floor 
Shall be lifted - nevermore!"    ~Poe
