Uttered under cursed breaths A phantomโs maledictions take hold A man falls down the stairs and breaks his neck His wife suffers a heart attack The son commits suicide The daughter runs away Misfortune stalks for no reason Beyond the cruelty of a long dead phantom Malicious in temperament and intent A desire to see the living suffer Abysmal wishes on unsuspecting victims Untied by any rational thought When one set of souls are taken It finds another And the cycle continues
