Another Head Hangs Lowly Novels & Stories

The ‘revived’ Wind Demons moved towards Red Rose with blank expressions – at least, the one that still its head screwed on tight. The Wind Demon which had its head cleanly knocked off was moving without a head while the one that had its neck shattered was jogging gallantly with its head hanging to its side.

The pavement flew up to meet her face, and the smack of her head silenced her thoughts. The world swayed in a strange, bobbing rhythm as Sidney resurfaced. She came into her head first, throbbing slow and heavy. Then, as her awareness spread down her body, she felt something pressing hard into her abdomen, smashing her organs. Her neck whined in a stretch, and she realized her head was dangling and rocking side to side. Her fingertips tingled as they hung long and lifeless past her hanging hair. When she finally managed to open her eyes, she made out the blurred shapes of Tony’s shoes walking beneath her.

The Prince was clenching his hands into fists so tightly, his knuckles were white. “What is it, Alpha?” Asked Titan. Hayden merely gestured to what was above the brook with a nod of his chin. Titan followed the Prince’s gaze and gasped when he spotted what the Alpha was talking about. Above them hanging upside down, strung up by the ankles, was Leech. His head hung at a strange ankle. Hayden immediately discerned why. Leech’s throat had been slit. That was where the dripping was coming from. It was Leech’s blood. The slit in his throat was so deep, his head had almost been severed.

he gave me a lackadaisical response, not even flinching. I couldn’t believe what I was seeing and looked at him. “Why are their heads there? Where are their lower bodies?!” “Isn’t this self-explanatory? They’ve had their head on public display! And what about their lower body?

He angled his body at the same time he lifted one of his hands which was dangling past his head, cleared the hair away from his face, and lifted his head to look. Indeed! It was as he expected. He was hanging upside down and someone held onto one of his legs and was gesturing wildly to someone else beside him to hold on to his other leg, to pull him up.

His lips twisted into a shaky smile as he turned toward the exit, but the feeling of triumph was short-lived. A faint, sickening sound echoed through the hall. He stopped, confusion flickering across his face. The world seemed to spin around him, and his vision blurred. A moment later, he understood: his headless body was still walking forward.
