A single light shines on an empty street. The air is thick with cold winter fog. My body is still trembling with fear. I'm gasping to fill my lungs with air. Turning my back to the pitch black sky, I wonder if he's only a few minutes behind. A demonic spirit in a man's attire who is after my life at this time. I peer into the darkness, anticipating the moment his maroon eyes catch sight of me. After a few seconds of complete silence, a seed of hope begins to take root in my heart. What if he gave up the chase?, I thought, Maybe I'm free from this madman's blood lust? All these thoughts I soon clear away. I must stay focused on escaping from him. As it came time to begin my flight again, my eye catches hold of something in the distance. A shadow of the demon appeared in the light. It broke the plane for only an instant. Yet I know that man has finally arrived. I begin to run erratically, consumed by fear, and soon my weariness starts to take a toll on me. Panting, sweating I begin to slow down. Finally I have no energy to go on. As my exhausted body falls to the ground, I can only wait in terror of whats to come. A footstep can be heard in the distance slowly approaching, lavishing every moment. The demon has caught its weakened prey. The last thing I see is his maroon eyes as I ascend into the pitch black sky. "Deep into that darkness peering, long I stood there wondering, fearing, Doubting, dreaming dreams no mortals ever dared to dream before;" -Edgar All [This message has been edited by Elias Nevermore (10-19-2008 04:41 AM).] |
