Diamond Dust, Devil

Fighting for survival far away from home With my cloak and dagger where the devils roam Lurking in the darkness that conceals the night There belong the phantoms well beyond my sight. All my strength is seeping, bleeding wound is sore I won’t last much longer, I will hide no more. Now the wind is howling; let it groan and blow Lifeless, right beside me, lies my vanquished foe. --------------------------------------------------------- Contest: Diamond Dust, Devil Sponsor: Skat A Placing: 3rd

wow, a very powerful story of death and dying. Could be a war story or could be a murder mystery. Anyway, I really like it.

Hi Andrea! I'm still trying to work out how it all started...and how it's going to finish!! Not sure if I die...or live to fight another day. Could keep that up my sleeve, for a sequel:) txs for stopping by; have a nice day:) // paul
