Seeing, sensing, suprising all
He stepped out from the wall.
Gathered round the fire place
All gave way before his space.
Spindly arms grained as wood
Shook and sought as if they should
Seek to grasp and find the one
Who stirred his fiendish heart and fun.
Frightened and Fearful
Stunned and Tearful
The party’s eyes were unbelieving
The devil’s looks so deceiving
His fiery orbs transfixed the girl
His spell, it sent her thoughts awhirl
And froze the rest
At his behest
Horrified they could but watch his hellish movement towards his treasure
Undulating wooden legs hobbling forward in ghastly measure
Six-fingered hands seized her then and dragged her to the wall
Where the surface dipped and swallowed them both before the eyes of all.
