My heart races
My breathing quickens
My bare feet hit the drenched pavement
The sound of boots echo from behind
An eerie message that I’m not alone

The street lights become scarce
The dark atmosphere is void of all sounds
Like a vacuum sucking up all that once was
Cement turns to dirt
Blood mixes with polluted water
Foreboding trees loom over my slowly fatiguing body
Roots grab hold of my feet
Like a black widow elopes it prey
Silence
The wind dares not breathe
The crickets renounce all music
The rain turns to mist
Silence
A twig sings out in pain
Fear
Fear is the poison that paralyzes the soul
Fear sings in my veins
Fear beads on my brow
But death
Death knocks on my Soul’s door
Before violently entering
Death caresses my Soul in its icy hands
Thu Thump
My Soul cries
Thump
Drowning in its own red tears
Thu
The crickets begin to sing
