Twisted Roads – Twisted Horror Stories by Matthew Tonks

A twist in time,

A line in the mist,

A deviation,

A declaration,

A promise,

A burden built to live between the muscles that lie beneath my flesh,

A finality of lies,

A complication unwinding,

A stipulation,

A proclamation,

A sin,

A hand soaked in the blood of one who was not my enemy,

A act of consecration,

A dedication only you could uphold,

A sacrifice,

A lamb,

A penalty,

A personal investment made in honour of that which you ask to one day be bestowed upon you,

A perfect lie,

A inconceivable reward,

A church choir,

A blindfold,

A ending,

A shadow that was never yours to control now sucks your pathetic soul dry…
