Alone

Darkness.

I am alone.

Or so I thought.

I shall not be denied this.

My mind is swimming.

I wish they would leave.

With my grip tightened,

and my teeth clenched,

the bloodwrath is upon me!

A glimmer of metal.

How could this be,

with no light to illuminate it?

Are these real,

or just the demons I have made,

come back to haunt me?

I see movement.

Something yellow.

I’m not sure.

I cannot take it.

I rush for it,

filled with an all-consuming hatred.

Ready to tear apart,

or be torn apart.

I hit something solid.

I feel no pain.

I fall to the ground,

the foam propelling me there.

Light.

My eyes burn.

I see white, continual white.

There is a black rectangle set in it,

ready to consume me.

They were watching me!

BETRAYAL!

I cry out,

"Leave me alone!"

Silence.

No response.

"I know you’re there!"

No reply.

I break down.

Wait, a gap appears,

in this continuum of white.

Two men enter.

"NO!" I scream.

They are emotionless.

A pain registers, on my arm.

A sting.

Darkness fast overcoming.

Yet again.

I look down to see,

one of them

take

a cylinder from

my

arm.

I cannot stand

anymore.

I collapse..

My head

swims. This

time my dark-

ness, my solid-

artiy, has

not

been

denied.
