I decided to test my Impressions page with an old post on the subject of horror... so here it is.
----------------------------------------------------------------
Oh the sweet taste of power as the knife begins its seductive art. With each slice of sharpened blade, the exquisite anguish of flesh screams out in rapture. As metal continues to carve an intricate pattern, a thick flow of blood bathes the canvas in crimson paint.

Beauty Is Only Skin Deep.

He woke unknowing of where he was or how he arrived. The cool air caressed his naked flesh with chill fingers. He tried to move. A seed of fear found fertile ground deep within his heart. Bound and naked, helpless. His eyes searched beyond the dim circle of light that surrounded him. Only silent shadows met his gaze. Then the angel appeared.

The single bulb that shone above bathed her in a glorious nimbus. Her sweetness of expression enhanced the sparkling blue eyes as the exquisite vision leaned closer and gently pressed soft lips to one roughened cheek. As she rose and stepped back, he noticed she wore nothing to cover her perfection. His body awoke without will.

She noticed his response and smiled with sweet innocence, then showed him the items she carried. A silver scalpel and golden needle caught the light and blazed in metallic glory. The seed of fear sprouted and took root.

She started her artistry where his body betrayed him.

His terrified screams of exquisite agony seemed to last an eternity.

Imagination is the most horrifying entertainment around.
