I can feel it moving through the slums.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is very evil, beyond a doubt.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is not from outer space.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is quiet. It does not shout.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A dimensional shift did not take place.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is not a traveler from the future.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is not a demon. There is no clue here.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is something never seen before.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is by far your greatest horror.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It doesn\u2019t use magic, nor the occult.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

But, it would gladly slit your throat.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It despises all that is good.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It doesn\u2019t respect life like it should.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even bad doesn\u2019t raise a candle to it.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is no scenario in which it would fit.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

To describe it would be a monumental effort.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

To defeat it would be impossible, except for—<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Well,  I won\u2019t mention that here.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It would be like looking in a mirror.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Something wicked this way comes.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

If I were you,—- I would run.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
