- a Fight Against Unknown Dangers -

Abandoned in the desert by robbers
Bruised and bleeding
Tied on hands and feet
It was dark, cold and I was shaking
The dawn of tomorrow
will it rise?
Please tell me
A bad dream,
close-up of red eyes
Like a snake moving without limbs
I followed a path, 
but suddenly it disappeared
and I lost my sense of direction

An ancient dry wind
with sand that grinds skin
Almost naked and sunburnt
Be embraced with temptation
So incredibly thirsty
The lips are wounded
and cracked
Clean water drops
would have been conditioner
for a dry throat
The moon is fading,
the darkness of nights malignant
A struggle to survive

*   - It was no dream ... the victim was supposed to die
     ... but "I" ... or SHE survived ... this is from a true story

Chris Green Date: 10/28/2019 8:36:00 AM A sad and horrific poetic tale my friend. There is so much evil in this world that it is hard to fathom.

Judy Ball Date: 10/27/2019 5:19:00 PM My Gosh. I sure hope that wasn't you my friend. HOPE you OR she is okay today with no lasting scars emotionally or otherwise. A great write here and actually a great opener for a short story about a girl who went in search of her attackers and exacted her own brand of vigilante revenge. Praise God for His mercy.
