running in the middle of the night. the moon high above looking down at me as if to say never again. the trees closing in on me as somebody follows me. i can hear there footsteps slowly moving behinde me.
its a path ive taken before.to evade some people but this time it feels different. i cant breath, legs jellow, eyes burnning in the wind rushing past me. thoughts racing about the people i have lost in this battle over land, love, freedom. but i cant stop. never will i stop, beacouse to many people are depending on me. my thoughts drift back to a time when things seemed simpil.
i know there is a root over here somewhere, but my brain is else where and i cant seem to place this root that sticks out far enough to trip somebody not looking for it. next thing i know BAM!! i go down. my legs finaly give out, i cant move. my body trembles in the chilly night air as i wait for the envitable.
its cold, and damp. i can feel the moist fog run over my back. and the ever creeping foot steps of my presuer. there behinde me. she stands with an ax in hand.
she is a friend who betraied me for a few extra moments in life. she holds the ax above my head and ask if there will be any last words.
i say "why now?"
she moves the ax came down by this point ravens have gathered in the trees to watch. as soon as the blade hits the ground they take to the sky covering the moon.
