7th Circle 2nd Ring

.

By CotardDelusionzPublished about 8 hours ago 1 min read

I watch the sun sink beneath the sea of trees

And the tide of darkness seep between every leaf

The darkness so deep

Anything just beyond my reach

Can no longer be seen

I feel as if I'm stepping into the domain of death

So bleak

Then the tree closest to me

Reaches for me

Wrapping its leaves around my body

Bounding me

Raising me to its branches

And pulls me in different directions

Disfiguring my body

Then it grows large thorns that pierce through me completely

My blood drips onto a demon watching from underneath

It licks its lips grinning

At my mangled body in the tree.
