Seductive forms beckon,

Unaware,

Tempting in their distance.

Those most sought,

Beware,

Deception reveals existence.

Digits thrusting forth,

Find you,

Grasping with hooked claws.

Ragged ropes encompassing,

Bind you,

Blood dripping from their maws.

Stone cold steel slices,

Torture,

One last agonizing breath.

Fading vision of fiery eyes,

Scorcher,

Traversing lands of death.
