Hi:) I wrote this two or three years ago and i finally got around to posting it! Yay! enjoy ^_^
The sickly sweet scent
Of thousands of glistening bodies,
Scurrying in the darkness
Until I am surrounded
And covered in webs,
Encasing me like
The wrappings of a mummy,
Trapping me with the creatures
Of my nightmares.
I am alone
In the absolute dark,
My eyes unable to adjust
To the lack of light,
With only the nauseating stench
Of my worst fear.
I can't move, I can't make any sound,
Having already cried out in fear
Until my lungs felt like bursting
And my throat felt like fire.
So I sit in the dark
With my head in my hands
Rocking back and forth
As if that would somehow tame me away
From this nightmarish place.
It doesn't.
A long, hairy leg brushes my arm
And I shriek in terror,
But my voice is too tired
To work properly.
Now I'm stumbling blindly through
The dank passageways,
Void of all senses except the
Sound of my footsteps echoing
Off the tunnel walls and my heartbeat
Pounding in my ears.
I am alone
And I am afraid.
