Leathery Wings.

Joseph Mark Carbonell 1994 (Oregon)



Charred skin, bleeding wings. Tears wept, souls reaped. Darkness fallen, the devils calling, ashes descend from the heavens as white wings beat blurry.

Swords flash in a flurry of judgement swing to sever heathen leathery wings. Wicked eyes full of flame howl in rage claws and teeth gnashing in the deep.

Time stops as the skies filled with shadows, scorched ground beneath, as the smell of sulfur permeates the air from below.

A struggle ensues, coveting the destiny of man forever enduring, forever persevering.
