August Fan Fiction Contest: "Once Upon A Time, It Was A Dark and Stormy Night"- A Poem

By Crossroads, ID 11004Once Upon a Time, It was a Dark and Stormy Night,These storms began at the dying of the daylight.So tempestuous it was, that it gave many a fright.So dark a gloom, it obscured even a hero’s sight.The storm-wracked violence built, reaching unparalleled height.The air thrummed as some force performed a wicked rite.Suddenly the Darkness gave birth to an unholy Wight!It shuffled and shambled, ignoring the Hurricane’s might,Coming for vengeance for some imagined slight.
