I was thinking of the Book, “Mexican Gothic” by Silivia Moreno-Garcia while writing this one. It is such an amazingly atmospheric book. I thoroughly loved reading that one.
A ghost
Pretending to be alive
Haunted roads covered in fallen corpses
Hollow winds engulfing the footsteps
Hissssssssssss
Don’t turn around
Keep walking
The whispers will cease
Vines tend to hold on tight
For many passers-by have disappeared
Lost in the fog so dense.
But you, dear ghost, keep walking
Don’t give in
For if you lose sight,
The gate will be lost too.
