see no good (a horror story)
1 HIS SONG
His song was always:
I see no good
see no kindness
in the world
I see no hope
I see no gentleness
nowhere all round me
2 THE SCENE
and now he lies
bowels dismembered
His intestines
making a nice O
on the floor;
his limbs like sticks
stretched out
pointing towards the only door
3 POLICE VERDICT
some evil
got him

Great use of imagery. There is no doubt in the readers mind that this was no act of random violence but a truly evil deed. You have a real knack for the macabre my friend.

Something got him, eviscerated him, and disposed of him like so much rubbish. You gave us the visceral scene, entrails and all, and the abrupt ending of the verdict was deliciously delivered. Enjoyed this haunting read, sir.

"making a nice O on the floor" what a peculiar image for spilled guts, pleasant even, reinforces the amoral mindset. well done.
