Skull House Zero (Halloween Night of the Dark Joy)

     “College is a time for learning and a new beginning
But for some it becomes a terrible tragic ending,
     “From car accidents, drug overdose or murder
Insane campus shooter, suicide or a jealous lover,

     “At those moments just before death’s sleep
And while grief-stricken loved ones uncontrollably weep,
     “Deep within the victim’s personal tragedy a voice will speak
Before heavens judgement or consumption of hell’s eternal heat,

     “Agreement causes a cackling whisper to dance upon the air
Slightly aging those around them and fully whitening their hair,
     “Eyes solid black will open as smiling teeth instantly crack
As everything around them becomes a gut-wrenching black,

     “Into a flaming hallway the soul will enter and begin to travel
While the tongues of unknown things cause its spiritual core to unravel,
     “Coating their soul for centuries with agonizing skeletal skin
Until arriving upon cobblestone a-washed with flame without end,

     “From an unconceivable reality cloaked shadows will appear
Draining the victim’s last memories of their life through forbidden fear,
     “The first test of many if the individual is to remain
Or forever become part of the streets of zero flame,

     “Each test brings forth the wickedness deep within
Until full acceptance of their evil with a skull-faced grin,
     “But unknowingly their test touched the world of the living
As a grim reaper apprentice, because death is the gift they are giving,

     “Only the college educated is Skull House Zero chosen
Because of a unique determination within that is dark and golden,
     “A dark hunger to excel and without emotion to achieve
Through the gathering of souls and disregarding flesh like dead leaves,

     “A sinister fraternity purposely lost by a dead god’s design
Created before the first soul entered Hell to beg and whine,
     “Skull House Zero is a Heaven and Hell avoided college
That contains and teach ancient and sinister forbidden knowledge”.
