Gold or Silver

I can live without-
The world froze all around me. The bright creamy colors of the skies turned into the same grey of the world around me. The realization pulled all life out of me down to the last drop. It was only then that I realized that I was NOT going to be living at all. But...even then I realized that unlike all those years ago, it did not seem to scare me. The more I tried to think of what had brought me here the more I realized that they were growing bigger and bigger all around me. Their flaming eyes were staring at me in amusement. Mocking my misery and gawking at my naivety. They had told me that I would end up here years ago, now they were cackling that I had wasted time trying even though they were right. Their claws were ready to tear through me and their I was not sure if there was anyone to save me this time.
