Secluded in a cold, dark room, I held tonight a solitary seance. There were no boards, no planchette, no candles, no table, no chairs, and no opening prayer. I’m the Black Cat, and they knew I didn’t require anything to speak directly to your soul.

A Black Cat Moment
That black cat lies flat on its back. Eyes lock a stiff squint, lips gape their last kiss. Hang low crooked claws. Fog crawls a cursed moon in dew of morn break. Was I the last you warned?
