Death At Your Back

It is a sense of impending doom.

 

A spine tingling chill,

 

that will penetrate you to the core.

 

It will not discriminated against you.

 

It will take you without remorse.

 

Leave you quaking in fear.

 

pleading for mercy.

 

Begging for one more chance.

 

It will leave you defenseless.

 

Harboring its curse upon those who

 

challenge it.

 

Denying absoultion.

 

When death stands at your back will you be ready.

Excellent write.....and to answer the question in this one.......I don't not fear death.....death is just the beginning to the new life beyond this earthly body.......when death comes will you strech out your hand without fear and welcome it? Can death been an worse than life? No more bodily pains, no more heart ache and no moe worries. The spirit set free from this flesh prison we reside in now.

The picture fit amazingly with the words. Can any of us really be ready for death though? You did a great job, I love it.

I have gone beyond the point of fearing death. I think life is often a lot scarier. But you painted the sense of doom the lurked in the shadows of the unknown. Made for a damn good read.

Diana the beginning is delicious as it builds to it's inevitable conclusion. Your work is never a dissapointment.

[James Mayfield]

I love the imagery you used here and the way you built up to the last lines. Very well written as always. Thanks for sharing.

Diana, love the way this builds to concluding question. Dark yet almost dreamlike...a nightmarish thought to ponder. Nice write here.
