The Dead

Heart racing, feet pacing,

I dashed through the halls.

Without stopping, time not wasting,

I heard the screams behind the walls.

Sparing nothing, breaking a window,

Hoping to escape.

As a roar came from the beast below,

I could only look at the landscape.

It was futile, I knew that as I cowered.

It came, the monster, it smiled as I bled.

My screams faded as I was devoured,

And now I join the dead.
