Flashing Lights

Flashing lights, Images in her head. Red, everywhere, Bathed in the shine of the moon. She lies, sobbing on the floor of the wood. His body under hers, Her cries echo loudly around her. Only feet away is knife, She looks at it with distain, Tears falling freely. She starts to shake and hangs her head. Defeated, she falls to the ground. Her mouth opens as if to talk, But the only sound is that blood-chilling scream. A sudden pain in her back makes her eyes go wide with fear. “You did this and now you will pay.” The last words she ever heard… One more sob, One last scream And then sudden laughter. Shivering, cold laughter. A shadow crosses their stone-cold faces And fades away with only one sound, That chilling laugh… Anissa Sapp 12/17/06 11:01 AM
