House of Living Shadows

At the dead end of a partially-obscured road

Pitch black with many hidden secrets

Is an abandoned decrepit house covered in willows

Still standing behind that black wrought-iron gate...



The House of Living Shadows calls to you....



Spectral lights flicker as the sun goes down

Shadows in the window, sillhouettes on the blinds

And if you listen very closely

You can hear the screams on the wind...



The House of Living Shadows watches you....



A rictus-laden visage looks on from the dark

An aura of malevolence in morbidity surrounds

A Demon seed conceived in this accursed place

A monster was unleashed, from this unholy maze...



The House of Living Shadows touches you...



What was conjured within those walls

To make them so alive

What deeds were done within those walls

To possess that mind...



The House of Living Shadows consumes you...

Author's Notes/Comments: 

Known as 'Hell House', this abandoned house is said to stand along a cul-de-sac on a very dark road in Devil's Canyon. Obscured by foliage and behind a wrought-iron gate, the abandoned structure's porch light never extinguishes, and shadows have been seen in the windows as flickering lights ignite therein. The story goes that if you pass by very quietly and listen carefully, one can perceive the sounds of screams emmanating from the edifice.
