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
