KIRK B FORSETH II

  Gaze upon the full moon burning in the sky The time of innocence is about to die Never again to beg for the meager alms Forsaking the life I knew, I have no qualms Several years have passed since I had my notion Ingesting all the witch's opaque potion I didn't think she was a necromantic Ever since that day, my life’s been fantastic Overwhelming hunger insatiable The need to feed completely inscrutable Sweet flesh calls to every fiber of my soul A tantalizing scent makes me lose control To the living, I express my lurid hate Yearning to be the deliverer of their fate Once the sentence has been passed, there’s no escape Your precious life ends without any red tape Keep telling yourself it’s nothing but a dream Slowly, your eyes turn to the color of cream This tragic ending, only they’re to blame With the light extinguished, we’ll be the same Their flesh calls to me, and I must devour Create what will be known as their darkest hour With each bite, the infection’s spreading fast...

 On this week's Character Corner, meet the cocky, yet extremely intelligent and deadly, Achangel Roakill. He is Mortis's son and gets his genius from his black mother. Dealing with being half black and half white, he was tormented a lot while growing up in the Celestine Order. Taking the name Roadkill, after his favorite means of eliminating those sentenced to death, he's the only Order member who uses alien technology in his weapons. 

  Once upon a lugubrious day A little boy met his final stay The dirty secret that must be hushed Right to the grave, he had to be rushed Swept under the rug when all was done Lying to rest our forgotten son   All the pictures had to be hidden With suffering, our hearts were ridden Kept him out of sight and out of mind Although our boy was one of a kind The slightest mention we had to shun Never to see our forgotten son   Cause of our actions, they were irate Their future they tried to decimate When they left, we had our boy Parker His brother turned into a marker Our boy, Kyle, we sure do miss you a ton You’ll never be our forgotten son

 On this week's Character Corner, meet the original Nicholas Dilcue, Stake. He befriended Draco Lavanov in late 1546 and helped him shape what would become the Necro Realm. He was one of the first members of the Celestine Order and advocated for Lavanov to be appointed as the Grand Inquisitor. He was the one who gave Draco the emerald Rosary that Pope St. Pius V had blessed.

  All alone in the velvet night, I prey upon the earth’s meager Most of them go down with a fight While few are willing and eager   Perfect white fangs puncture their neck, To expose blood so pure and fine Their death, a reality check, Making what was once theirs all mine   Their lifeless bodies fall limp, Eternal life is what I strive Be it mom, child, hooker, or pimp, Their precious blood keeps me alive

 On this week's Character Corner, meet Celestine Order member, the Archangel, Nicholas "Mortis" Dilcue. He has been friends with Draco Lavanov ever since he was a teenager and used to get into trouble with the former Grand Inquisitor on numerous occasions. He is one of the very best that the Order has to offer and is known to the other inhabitants of the Necro Realm as Mortis; only his name is second when it comes to being known and feared. 

As Bright as the Moon             Lara McCoy lay on her bed, hung over from the night before. She knew better than to drink Absinthe. Luckily for her, it was not on a night that was a full moon, or then she’d be in trouble. Lara housed a dark secret. She was not only a werewolf, but also the last of her pack. To say the last six months have been a rollercoaster would have been an understatement. Not only had her pack been systematically hunted down and eliminated, but she had also fallen for the man sleeping next to her, Shawn McGovern. There was just something about him that drew her to him.             He was the most wonderful man that she’d ever met. He was kind and thoughtful. In a day and age where chivalry was nearly dead, he kept its spark lit. The young man was always opening doors for her, pulling out her chair, bringing over flowers, and, more importantly, was und...

  On this week's Character Corner, meet Jalynn Cahill. When we first meet her, she's a timid bookworm; however, after being involved in a car accident and having a date from hell, her life is altered forever. 

  I awake not knowing exactly where I am Soon, I realize that I’m in some awful jam Cautiously, I move, not knowing what I’ll find Confirmation comes that I’m in a real tight bind There’s only one conclusion that I can derive By some strange accident, I’ve been buried alive While on my back, I use my hands and feet to pound Stopping often, hoping to hear some kind of sound Unfortunately, I only hear my heartbeat Slowly realizing there’s no way I can cheat Scratching at the top, my fingers begin to bleed Knowing full well there’s no way for me to succeed Self-preservation becomes my only desire My dreams are descending into this quagmire A cold, hard fact is that I'm growing less alert The lack of oxygen causes my lungs to hurt Minutes ticking away, the end is drawing near Now that I think of it, there’s nothing I should fear It’s closer now, I’m almost over that hill Embracing the cold, I become so very still

 Greetings and salutations,      It's Kirk coming to you from the Hospital Bed of Love, and I've got the spooky, spine-chilling, Top 5 for this haunted month of October. Ah, the fall, how I love thee. When I wasn't disabled, I used to put up the Halloween decorations on September 1st, and they would remain until November 1st. Some of the decorations were allowed to stay up, as they could be construed as Thanksgiving-related, too, but those were the start and stop dates for those decorations. And yes, I have walked into the Hallween sections looking for new home decor with that sole purpose in mind. It was the only time that my wife would allow me to have a normal-looking house. So, without any further ado... on with the show! The Top 5 Horror Movie Franchises: 5) Subspecies: I LOVE Radu as a vampire. He is so EVIL! This movie series, the first one in general, is a staple for when I watch a baby for the first night. It started with my sister, then my youngest brother,...
