The Room

The room was in darkness Save for the solitary shard of light Shining directly onto that point on the wall The blood had dried in long back If the room could speak There would be screams The chains still hung on the wall Frozen in time A timely reminder To the events of that day She touched them Just to understand Why She expected the feel of cold metal Instead, a strange heat surged through her body Compelling her into the chains Tightly binding her against the wall Trapped, she waited He was watching her Listening as her heart pounded in fear Just the beginning She thought she was screaming As the blood entered her mouth, slowly Forcing her eyes to scream Her mind now drowning in panic As life began to fade He watched her, fascinated, as she entered the next phase The journey into the afterlife Just like the others The room was in darkness Save for the solitary shard of light Shining directly onto that point on the wall.
