CORNER OF THE BLACK ABYSS

I ran,

down the stairs,

as fast as I could,

towards the door.

It's so close, almost there.

There it was, I reached the door.

Out I ran. Across the deck. Through the yard.

I fell.

Tripped on a rock.

How ironic.

Oh know. They're coming. They know. I ran again. But where could I run. Nowhere, Anywhere. Where. I turn the corner. It was so dark. Another corner. No. An ally. A dead end. Turn back. I can't. I can hear them. They followed. They're near. Climb. Climb what. Brick. All brick. It was wet. I slipped.

Again I fell.

I didn't get up.

What was the point.

I saw them.

They were coming.

I waited.

Now here i sit. In pain and alone.
