And So Here We Are

The darkness of the night crawls over me swallowing the last speck of light and hope. I can feel its coarseness scraping across my skin like a heavy wool blanket on a cold winters night. My mind follows the luring sound of silence into the eerie blackness, into the void. I fear nothing and yet I fear everything. Death has looked me in the eye and I did not blink. I welcome the fate that awaits me.
