Memory

In a bucolic town on the mountaintops

There sat a comely bungalow

An evanescent light would enlighten the trees and the riverbanks

The most tranquil time of the day

Despite the ethereal view there was a constant shadow

Slaughtering all the beauty near.

A crow screeched in the graveyard

Darkness gloomed even in the light

Out of the shadow a hand gripped me

Pulling me deeper and deeper into the pit

The fire roared with wrath

As it gathered strength it stood up fully

I looked around for help

Begging, summoning with no avail

The darkness was closing in on me

The monster left the shadows into the light

Its scabbed body shining under the bright sun

Fear filled my body as I grabbed my sword

Swinging it back and forth

Aiming at its heart

I needed to kill the beast

Put out the darkness and fill it with light

The dragon roared leaving nothing but ashes

I ducked as the fiery fire grew

Unswerving towards its center

My sword piercing its unyielding surface

Its stinging cries echoing in ears

A loud clump and it clattered on the earth

Its breathless body now a distant memory.
