My lifeless form lays in this cave-not dead but alive.
Each day I become stronger, my hideous form taking shape once more.
Bodies of the innocent hang from lofty stalactites as their impaled bodies drip blood into me, like crimson rain.
The hour for reprisal draws nearer with each drop of blood.
The laws of this land etched in stone will be wretched from the priest’s feeble hands and smashed on the steps of the temple.
Then new laws shall be written not in stone, but flesh.
Soon I will reign once more in blood.

Following on from ‘The Last Hour,’ based on the song ‘Power Slave,’ by the heavy metal band, Iron Maiden, I’ve done this micro fiction, based on the song, ‘Raining Blood,’ by Slayer. The lyrics can be found in the link below:-
