Twisted Roads – Twisted Horror Stories by Matthew Tonks

Bitterness has a way of seeping in through the cracks in your skin,

Finding a corner inside to lie in wait,

Growing stronger it spreads its hate,

Waiting until the day it makes its move,

The day it turns your own body and mind against you,

Whispering lies to you as you sleep,

Confusing what you see with what your mind believes,

Building a world inside your head,

Turning all you have against you,

A window,

An opening,

A chance to escape,

Another lie,

Another trick,

A moment,

A fractured mirror,

Wake up and repeat again!
