The Mist Rises

Writing task for Ultimate Trinket Adventure Abysmal Realm

The shadows of smoke drift upwards like flame.
Does a demon arise with gifts of horror and pain?
The room where it stirs seems so mundane.
What called it forth, this thing without name?
What does it plan for the mad and the sane?
Does it come to collect the damned once again?
This dark visitor on earth wants to reign.
“God save us all,” should be our refrain.
