A Gamers Adventure

I stood upon the precipice and looked down into the abyss below that final stretch of road, the ending to my long and arduous journey I awaited the eternal torment, It was time to atone for my sins, and this I knew This I accepted gladly. My life had played out its sad tune The melody was bitter-sweet, the crescendos rose and fell too often The composer must have laughed when he wrote the score For too long had it rung endlessly in my ears The final note, now sat waiting to be played. I stared into the darkness as it stared right back up Into the very heart of my twisted soul Knowing me fully, embracing the good and the bad As it did so, images flew through my mind The people I'd killed, The evil monsters and the good people alike. A chilling wind blew across me, the notes slowed Time all but stopped as my body lurched slowly forwards Eternity's hand had grasped me, the notes started to fade All the good, all the evil of my life, now meaningless A foot note on the pages of History. As the darkness engulfed me Small, final ponderings fluttered across my fading view I had left my mark upon the shattered world But for Good, or for Ill? I would never know. I breathe my last Never ending blackness surrounds me No heat, no feeling, only emptiness remains The end has come And finally the music stops
