The Edge of Darkness
I couldn't think.
Clouds of darkness filled my head.
Next, I felt a sudden numbness.
I tried to cry for help.
No words parted from my lips.
Shadows appeared;
Sinister, menacing shadows.
And then the knock.
At first, it was barely audible.
Two minutes later there came the pounding.
"Behold, death awaits!"
"Who are you?" I cried.
"Behold, death awaits!"
"Stop it! Go away!"
"Behold, death awaits!" proclaimed the spirit.
"Leave me alone," I shouted.
Suddenly, silence returned.
Five minutes later, I dropped to the floor.
My heart was pounding.
One minute later, I was dead.
The spectre of death had claimed a new victim.
