I look down the narrow path, and no one would believe what I would find. At first, I would argue that someone finally answered my calls. Now, I know, too late, that what I asked for and what is coming for me, is nothing anyone could want.
They say it comes on a pale horse. There is no life about it, just seriousness. Riding across the landscapes, with blackness at it's heels, taking any that no longer belongs. It is the destroyer of lives. It holds no weapons, for they are useless to it. The only thing it needs is touch and time. Though, time is quick and before long, there will be total darkness. However, there comes a time, that even Death becomes dull in the world-
That's right. I asked for Death. Instead of being what I had hoped, it was quite different. They were right. It does come on a pale horse. It does have an abyss following right behind it. It is the taker of lives. It does need touch and time. But they were wrong. It holds all weapons imaginable to do it's biding. The thing that makes it worst is, it's time isn't quick anymore. It has all the time in the world. Death, in fact, is dull in this world and now it says one word. "Run." The sound of the voicing of that word, was not lifeless. It was of thrilling, madness and full of frightfulness.
There was no time given to think. It took mount and began charge. I went to turn and run. The last thing I saw behind me was this: two fiery eyes held within a skull and behind this, arms open welcoming an eternal embrace. What lied in front of me was a world. In my panic I almost forgot that one does hold the ability to fight Death. And, with little chance, overcome it.
I don't know what I want any longer. Maybe just a fighting chance? I do not know, but I do know this: it's weird, but ever since Death showed up, I haven't actually felt alone anymore...
