  1. Nymphs cradling the dead,
    Dedicated to the dead,
    The nymphs leaving in the shadows,
    And gone in a ferocious night.
    Given a wish,
    The wish of the dead.
    Pardon the nymphs,
    The dead, Ferocious
    Blinds the Nymphs
    Flashed, leaving the ceiling
    Flashed, if like a limousine
    Your ferocious dead
    Only swollen dead with dead
    The dead, inspecting the Nymphs
    Then, leaving the dead nymphs
    For the dead, with dead

  2. If only the shadows flashed
    With ferocious nymphs
    And dedicated a night
    To pardon the dead

    Cradling in the faces
    Of swollen nymphs
    That blinds the shadows
    Like a limousine blinds the dead

    For inspecting your gone
    The ceiling flashed
    And given a wish
    The shadows then leaving

    If only the shadows flashed

  3. GHOSTS OF HOLLYWOOD
    Dead and gone
    Faces flashed
    In the limousine
    Like nymphs of the night
    Dedicated to the swollen ceiling
    Inspecting,
    Cradling with a ferocious wish
    That then blinds
    If given your pardon
    Leaving only shadows for faces

  26. And Mordecai, if you somehow find your way back here, I’ll gladly tear your throat out myself. Dovi isn’t afraid of getting his hands dirty.
    Dovi’s eyes disappeared, fading into the abyss. Mordecai took a deep breath that was cut short as he saw the darkness invade his mouth and down his throat. His eyes began to tear up as he desperately tried to breathe through his nose, which also became under the darkness’ attack. He felt his body begin to fill with it. Finally released from the world’s grip, or perhaps forced down by it, he began to fall face first towards the rippling sea of emptiness. He closed his eyes as the darkness washed over his whole body. As it passed, his eyes were stung by a bright light. He opened them and found himself drenched in sweat in his room with a phrase bouncing around his skull, refusing to leave:
    Never return.

  28. One night, the phone rang clear and shrill. When I picked up, there was no voice on the line, but a loud peercing scream peerced through my ears. At first, I did not know what to think of this; was this call meant for me? Did I have to help or safe a soul? To my fright, I came to know it was my own voice! What was this? Was it a joke? I hung up the phone and tried to run out of my house, but it was hard to see where I went. My legs felt like dead weights, and I could not breathe.
    When I made it to the door, the strong wind whooshed in my face, and whipped my hair, which stung. The weight I bared would not let up,; in fact, it was worse. Pain sheered through my head, and I was so weak. I fell to the ground and just lay there. I heard a car squeal close, and then there was great pain, which sent me out of breath. I felt could hear a far scream, just like the one on the phone. Then, all was just still and dar.
