A place filled only with darkness An angel sits in quiet meditation, Passing judgment upon a single man A life of pain he lived, Suffering beyond measure brought him down this path “To heaven” the angel decides, As she spreads her wings A black blade appears between her breasts Silently she slides to lie face down in the dirt Turning in her last moments She sees one of the fallen smiling above her His body blackened and bloody He is an angel of darkness and hatred Turning he lets out a small chuckle as he takes the mans soul “Hell is all he knows so that is where he shall stay” the fallen says Her eyes fill with tears as she fades Gone was the man’s hope It lies murdered in a barren waste -lance There is no peace among the stars, only an eternity of carnage and slaughter and the laughter of thirsting gods |

Whew.....this is some heavy reading. It's well written, and I enjoyed the new experience. But might I be so bold as to suggest you post it in Dark, instead of here? It's just a thought, as it would be fantastic in that genre. Hope you don't mind my opinion...~S~ Accept these small gifts from my gypsy heart ~~S~~ |
