Corpus Slick droplets of crimson drip...drip...dripCorpus by ~NinjaElephant277
from a gaping mouth.
The chain that suspends it
constricts tighter around the lacerated windpipe.
A pulse beats slowly through the dying husk,
Thump...Thump...Thump...
Its progressive beat slows to a faint
pound
Almost crying...
until it finally
Stops.


Hades, Bringer of Death I am Hades, Bringer of DeathHades, Bringer of Death by ~NinjaElephant277
Grovel at my feet mortal, for your life is in my hands.
You can offer me anything, food, riches, women,
but you forget that I am a god, one who has no need for your petty bribes.
No, your pitiful begging is enough to satiate me for now.
Be warned though, your comeuppance will arrive,
and then, no amount of pleading will be able to help.
