| death imprisoned. watching but unable to help them. i know what is meant for them. i can sense the menace in the air. sweat beads rolling down my face, fear enveloping me. his smile is that of peril, evil. do not be mistaken, when this night is over, you will be alone. my body is overcome with the shakes. i can�t escape yet i can�t close my eyes, left vulnerable and in fear. my stomach is turning, my hands race to catch my vomit but alas to late. you cannot run, you cannot hide. death comes for us and we all must watch. standing in my own vomit, i now watch the people closest to me die. he starts with the ones i love most. its seems to last forever, watching him drain them of life right down to the last drop of blood. he leaves me covered in their blood. holding them in my arms and crying. I reach to wipe the tears away, tears of blood or was it theirs. I�ll be seeing you soon� i slouch against the wall, pinching myself. its just a nightmare. but if it�s a nightmare, when will i wake up, and why do i feel pain?
