Shadows

I am alone.

Everyone is gone. No one will hear me scream or see me die.

The walls begin to move in closer, there's no escaping this fate.

Someone save me.

Shadows begin to swarm around my body and they begin to laugh... Fear runs down my spine. They play with my mind. My thoughts slowly begin to fade. Then I feel it; a sharp pain. It hurts. Tears begin to fall from my eyes as blood drips from my mouth; a bitter taste... There is a hole in my chest and a missing heart. Roars of anger come from the shadows. They have found a person without a heart; it was broken long ago. In their act of rage the shadows grasp my soul and rip it out of my body, the only thing I had left. Everything goes back to normal. I stand in front of a mirror and all I see is the reflection of a blank expression and empty eyes. I walk outside and glance at the dark blue ocean that roars in front of me. There is nothing left for me in this world; my heart has shattered, my soul dragged into an empty abyss, my mind has lost its power. I am alone, empty; all I am is a hollow body. A cool breeze wraps around me; I can smell the sea... I glance up towards the sky; the moon is full and the stars are gone. An eerie laughter awakens the night... The shadows have come once again. I shut my eyes and accept my fate. As the wind howls, my body turns to ash, lifted into the darkness of the night. I am gone.
