The madhouse reverberated

to the sounds of the frenzied,
terror stricken
wretches
wandering about it in directionless
panic,
pointing with wide-eyed
horror
to the grotesque cartoon figures
leering at them from every shadowed
corner.
And as the inmates
shrieked in comic-book
horror,
they never
noticed the sky
outside their
windows
cringing in fear
as fiery, howling
death pierced it,
laughing
in anticipation.
