Velvet Sky Frantic movements rose in anguish as pulsations bled in obscure force. The constancy of the death tone rang like a tempest swell, in the heart of a rancid doom. Whispers, hidden within the cries of despair, prayed to a concrete deity mounted on the wall. "Oh Father, hear our prayers!" She screamed in defiance; her voice, transparent in the midst of living testaments. "I am here! I am here!" She laid in perfect stillness. Her expression, embroidered like a graying sorrow, sighed heavily upon a once stout face of rosy flesh. "But I'm here...I'm here," she whimpered, as her body was covered under a starched white sheet. "Ye, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death..." were the last words she heard, as her world bled into the oblivion. And the velvet sky turned to stone. |
