I had never met the demon
directly
but I had read some of his
words
the longing, the desperation
before the indictment, the
conviction
before they threw away the
key;
A spectral apparition had
grown
the demon too big for his
body,
beyond his control
completely.
Evil that had grown within
him,
fed by his musings, his
words,
now stalked him in the
night.
He cannot outrun it for he
is in chains,
a devil of his own making;
The wraith had burst free of
his body
no longer caged with him
now to roam the earth.
