THE DEMON

Time-piece, as promised

awoke him at

sharp 4AM.

He woke up

and engaged

in his daily routine

as usual.

He saw through the

window

nothing but thick, solid darkness.

The silent village was

in deep sleep

the music of the crickets

could be heard like

the rhythm of the Universe.

Upon completion

of his daily routine

he undressed himself

and put on his new

clothes.

He was quite calm

and tranquil like

the silent village.

At sharp 6AM

he saw through the

window

two red glowing eyes

approaching his house.

The dark demon

with two sharp horns on

both sides of the forhead

astride a buffalo

reached beside the

window.

The burly demon with

enormous growth of hairs

spread throughout his body

were like grass grown

in a vast field, with his

large, glowing red eyes

was a frightening sight.

He slowly walked out

of the room, the house

and sat behind the

dark demon with red glowing

eyes.

No talk transpired

between them on the way

the buffalo started moving

with both the demon and man astride it

and gradually both of them

melted into the thick darkness.

He didn’t come back ever….
