Unexpected Circumstances

a voiceless wind howls in the evening twilight, slowly he crept to his feet to perform his theatrical delusion once again. Passionate words to stifle the innocent, precarious actions to trap the unsuspecting. Dying inside, this man, held in torture within his own mind, he cries for a way out of his twisted lies. Stumbling down the stairs, sweat pouring down his ageless face, nervous rambling spills from his mouth, he contemplates the words to dominate his need. Arriving in grand fashion, the elite club redeem, scanning and searching the fortress like a ravenous pig, a lovely lady chosen, his mind complicate. A sweet word of encouragement, to her oasis of comfort, agreed. This man: a man of great intelligence, a man of a complicated need, a tainted glass of white wine elegance, gone, a diamond legacy. He forces her to her knees, black clouds arrive, misery appears a dream. Stripped of a million dollar masterpiece, tied and bound, he leaves.Morning light comes painful, a desperate realization she sees, in confusion, agony, her soul, empty, she bleeds. Alone he sits in silence, a song of a dark victory he sings, tortured. _________________________ *For a Man whom steals and harms another human being for monetary value. *He shall stand in judgement!! ______________ PROSE CONTEST
