Ugh...I don't like the 500 character maximum of the avatar areana descriptions. This is my original description for my submission titled "Never Made It Home......."

Young Eric Baristein was on his way home from school
Poor Soul.... a voice echoes in the still night
He turned around, shaking from the voice, sounding so cruel
Who's there? he asked in the dim streetlight

Glowing eyes shimmering from the dark
His eyes widened, fear filling his heart
A dozen bats flew over him in a demon arc
Poor soul, it repeated. You never ran away. No...you had no time to start.

Eric's feet became as heavy as stone
The bats screeched, attacking his left arm
I'm all alone, he thought, all alone
As he struck the bats, he jumped with a jolt, a sudden alarm

He felt something warm flow past his lips
His whole body going numb
Dark red blood fell to the ground in a group of drips
Hee hee hee, the voice giggled. Boy, aren't you dumb?

Eric fell to the cold stone ground
He winced as something was pull out of his back
The laughing seemed to be all around
He didn't even see the one who started this attack

A pale white face appeared in front of him
Its glowing eyes seemed to dim his own
A cold hand grabbed hold of his dead limb
You shouldn't have ventured alone

Losing his sight, Eric lied his head down
Bats lowered their heads toward the attacker
The young woman looked at Eric. You poor clown,
To walk around this place alone was your single downfall, sir”

She looked at the blood red moon
Her expression changed as she dragged Eric off
Either you left too late or you entered here too soon
Blood splattered the ground as Eric let out a silent cough

So sad, you have to remain in this dark, never-ending room
She tossed Eric into a dark, bottomless hole. Remember, this is a place you should never roam
She looked at her watch, eyes filled with despair and gloom
I feel sorry for your family, she said, walking away. Because you never made it home.....
