Destroying Angel by Cryptesthetic

A forgotten place of worship holds a terrible secret in its innermost chamber. There stands the statue of an angel, once worshiped for the divine powers it displayed over life and death. Those transfixed by its power would wither, die, and bloom into deadly mushrooms, rotting to nothing but bones and fungus in a matter of moments.

It could not be destroyed, nor moved, without invoking its wrath. Fearful acolytes dreaded the consequences of all but the most subtle moves taken against it. Over the course of many generations the temple built around the angel was converted brick-by-brick, room-by-room, until it functioned as a prison for this deity of decay.

Now, the temple stands long abandoned, long forgotten, long decaying. But the angel's power remains, and those foolish enough to unearth it are fated to join the rotting husks of men that litter the tomb of the Destroying Angel...
