The Prose Masquerade Think about what monster or creature you would most enjoy emulating if you were forced to become it for the rest of your life. (You can't say a businessman is a monster and take the easy route out). Within the realms of ghouls, ghosts, vampires, centaurs, etc., pick your poison, and craft something that shows how you would cope at your worst, your best, in your newfound existence of monstrosity. Let the words run. The winner gets a trick or treat box from me.

Necromancer

"She's a witch! She's a fiend!

She's in league with the devil!

Grab your torches and pitchforks,

And we'll banish this evil!"

They pillaged and plundered,

They torched and destroyed.

They drove me to darkness,

My vengeance deployed.

I sought out a witch

In my darkest despair.

Sold a piece of my soul

To avenge, so beware!

For I'm about to become

Your darkest nightmare.

With a sorcerer's curse,

My fate has been bound.

My dealings in death

And decay will astound.

With a kiss from my lips

 And a breath from my lungs

The dead will arise,

And, to my will, succumb.

The spirits, they clamor

And haunt at my side.

I'm their mistress of death!

And my will, they abide.

You once thought me dark,

Accusations from greed.

Gaze on this monstrosity created

From your dastardly deeds.

With my army of dead,

I'm retaking my home.

Amidst the carnage and rot,

I'm building my throne.

From my legion of corpses,

Flee in madness and terror.

Perhaps your shattered psyche

Can reexamine your error.

From your rapacity, I was created.

I'm a witch! I'm a fiend!

Now! Amidst the death and decay,

Bow down to your Queen.
