The villagers had removed their masks. They displayed their true faces. And they were dreadful, diabolic visages. Blasted skin hung from shrunken mouths and red veins burst from their skin, leaving pronounced contours akin to miniature rivers. Each throbbed and pulsed, at home on scabby foreheads. I balked. The eyes drew all attention. Silver coins replaced eyeballs. They glinted with the same alluring lustre as the ones I had coveted in the chests. Instantly, dreadfully, I knew they were one and the same — accursed treasure used for nefarious sight, a symbol of the damned. And yet, the more I stared, the more I coveted them. Tim Reed
About This Quote

I can tell you will like this one. It is the best one I have seen till now. This is one of the most horror stories I have ever read. The horror of people who are obsessed with money and the things they can buy with it, and the horror of people who live their lives so selfishly that they don't care about anyone else's life. The horror of a world where people have abandoned all human feelings and have become nothing but hard-working machines, where love is lost and humanity has been plunged into darkness.
