Abyss

o0o

I stifle a yawn

and gaze into the blackness.

This place has become familiar.

Routine.

A blank space with no faces.

Where cruelty lies.

Who dares to enter?

The belly of the abyss.

-0-

I stretch my arms,

look side to side.

Nobody is there.

I shuffle forward,

my legs sluggish.

I pause, and then stare.

Looks to me like the abyss is playing a joke on me.

Circling around me.

It's cackling madly.

I shiver.

It's gone.

-0-

I turned around

and stride forward.

No air to sustain me.

No ground to hold me.

It seems I'm just a revolving spirit.

Beckoned to this life,

simply by coincidence.

The abyss hollers a laugh.

-0-

Sailing and dropping.

Up and down.

Weaving and gliding.

I flinch as the nails of abyss screech.

Stunned, I look.

Red as a rose.

Thick as crimson liquid.

Horror-struck.

I sprint.

The footprints of blood gather at my feet.

Staining the perfect black.

-0-

The abyss looms above,

stretching its mouth wider than is feasible.

I cower.

It pushes me and flies skyward.

I scream as I drop.

A hole opens into a vortex.

Silence.

Rapid breathing.

-0-

I can't see.

I don't know where I am.

This place is foreign.

A rumble vibrates up my spine.

I shake.

My eyes burn.

Hands reach me.

Millions, pulling me from every direction.

I slap them away.

I crawl forward to get away.

The hands pulls be back by my leg.

Scraping my throat raw,

my cries go unanswered.

Echoing a sad single tune in crescendo.

Wings flap.

I glance up.

The abyss stares at me with dead eyes.

Smile uncaring.
