The sky - painted red with gray swirls of cloud.
The end is near.
Tornado-like winds howl like starving dogs.
The ground begins to open up to a greater hell.
I run, trying to escape ths ever-growing void.
I run through the upturned soil
which used to be the greenist of grass.What was once pure, what was once my heaven
has become my apocalypse.
I run only to trip on one of the hundred uplifted trees.
A blue flash illuminates the sky for the briefest of moments,
only to give way to the acid rain
that fall from the sky - gallons to the drop.
The ground, now faster than ever is opening towards me.
Unable to stand fast enough,
I have been deluded
by a place I was once able to call my sanctuary.
Down the void, i fall face up.
Screaming in silence (which echoes in this vertical cave),
I stare up. Watching the clouds crash
onto one another like ocean waves.
I see the lightening, but there is no thunder.
Just the screaming wind.
Still falling backwards, I notice the sky disappear.
New ground covers the hole i once was able to see into.
My past.
The walls narrow, just enough for me to be able to fit through.
This void is never ending. I'm still falling.
I'm trapped in my only beleif. the only place i could call home
has now become my worst nightmare.
I'll never stop falling.
There is no beginning.
There is no end.
There is no hope.
There is no way out.

Ok. Excuse that if you think it sucks. It still needs to be fixed and loose ends need to be cut, but other than that its pretty much finished. I started last night. Then finished in the matter of 5 minutes just now. So all in all i worked on it for about 10 min. So yeah i expect it to not be as great as some other stuff i've written. I change styles soo often that i confuse myself. Sometimes in the middle of writing something my style will change and i get mad and throw it away. That didn't happen here. its the first thing i've written and havent actually thrown it away. Tell me you love me.

love + bruises,
natalie
