• That's the sob and drip of a leaky drain But it sounds like another noise we know The heavy drops drummed red and slow, The drops ran down as slow as fate Do ye hear them still?--it was long ago But here in the shadows I wait, and wait Spirits there be that pass in peace Mine passed in a whirl of wrath and dole; And the hour that your choking breath shall cease I will get my grip on your naked soul Nor pity may stay nor prayer cajole-- I would drag ye whining from Hell's own gate To me, to me, ye must pay the toll! —  The Haunted Hour An Anthology
