River Phoenix and Halloween

Image


A girl with brown hair and blue eyes steps up to the Viper Room.
She is five years old.
River Phoenix, now a ghost, blows a gust of wind into the nightclub.
Instantly the room becomes cold.

She shivers as the wind touches her face.
Is he near?
She then hears a familiar voice.
"My dearest child, don't be afraid.
I am here."


He then begins his haunting of her.
He first calls out her name.
He touches her hair and her face.
But she wonders if she feels guilt or shame.

He floats into the room and becomes solid.
He tells her,
"I know you very well.
You would see me in your dreams,
But every time in them I become an empty shell.

"I am intrigued by you.
It is you I seek.
You are so beautiful.
You, like a panther, my dear, are sleek."


He then circles her,
like a lion would do with its prey.
He then tells her that she now belongs with him,
and will never again see the light of day.

Then he places his mouth over hers,
and she knows what over the months has passed.
Finally he has her forever.
She belongs with River Jude Phoenix...at long last.
