High above the mountain
pulling souls in
the vortex grows
feeding off fears within
The avatar becomes the vessel
filled with fervent greed
doing whatever is necessary
to satisfy every need
Grilled by tormentors
night and day
thunder and lightening strike
when they do not get their way
All that remains is a zombie
returned to haunt the earth
luring other poor souls
that do not know their worth
Through the clouds
comes a flicker of light
then the sun rises
everything is bright
A champion comes
taking away all fear
rescuing souls in the vortex
drawing them near
A new avatar
throws away the fears of old
living in calm and serenity
lovely to behold

I like the way you combined the prompts. I enjoy doing that too. The zombie stanza is great.
Thank you. It’s a fun challenge for me to combine prompts. The zombie prompt is a great Halloween word with so many possibilities. Thanks for reading. Have a wonderful day!
Was it just me being dozy, or were you not around the last few days? Hope all is well.
