The darkness surrounds me.
I feel them closing in,
watching, searching.
I look and see nothing but shadows.
I run but still they hunt,
following, seeking.
What do they want from me?
Why do they hunt me?
As I run thru the shadows,
they watch with glowing eyes.
Formless they glide around me on silent wings.
I can feel their growling more than I can hear it,
sending chills thru me.
I try to hold my fears at bay,
knowing if I cannot I will be overtaken,
and become another victim.
I must not fear.
I reach for my blades at my sides,
my protectors, my friends.
They shine silver in the moonlight.
I am done with my running.
I slash at the darkness,
seeking to dim the menacing eyes that watch me.
To once again be able to feel safe in the moonlight.
(to be continued perhaps)
