Darkness seeps in
light fades away
shadows gather 'round
my heart races
I quicken my pace.
A deafening sound
just behind me
a terrified screech
from my throat.
I dive forward
reaching out
grabbing for something
anything
to save me.
I scramble to my feet
there's light ahead
bright
shimmering
t e a s i n g
I run for it
the branches reach
holding me back
I don't want to go
don't take me away
help me, please!
My screams muffled
my struggles useless
I let the darkness
consume me
I'm gone.
