Game Over
January 11, 2019
The mist came up
Dawn rising
Dew on the grass
Undisturbed
Peaceful
But the scratches tell another story
When the sun was setting
When the shadows were walking alone
When everyone was afraid
No one escaped
No one
But me
Dried blood on the back of my shirt
Clinging to my back
The front dripping with sweat
Running
Running
Running for civilization
Running towards the light
Stopped dead in my tracks
The moon was over the sun
It was
Game over
