Black. Dark black. Pitch black.
I walk through the hollow woods, step by step on the faded path. Fog permeates the air. Screeching birds soaring through the misty sky. Dead trees surround me. Dead trees till the end of my sight. Dead trees eliminated from the earth.

"Don't you know darling?" The spirit cackled "say goodbye to your life."

Knock. The door creaked as it opened alone. A lit candle laid in the centre of the room. A rose bush, with vines not so lifeless. ALIVE!!! Green like an emerald. Thorns pushing through; as they wrap my legs, climbing up my body while time froze. The candle was blown out. It was pure black. I was blinded. "Aaaaaah!" A cacophony of shrieks rose. Snatched from my life. Never saw freedom again.
"Buh bye." The spirit moaned with a sinister smile on her breathtaking face . I vanished through thin air, never to be seen again.
A last breath of air. The atmosphere was filled with the scent of death.....
