-among the Dead Entry-
Aliesha Hamrick
-Among the Dead-
The spin of the cylinder echoed in my mind.
I knew I had to follow threw, there was no turning back from this faithful quest.
Deep breaths only made my heart sink deeper in my chest.
I remember him saying, "Raven, don't let this get the best of you".
I felt my heart beating as I held the gun in place.
So many people who couldn't say goodbye, will I ever see another sunrise?
Terrified but not faltering I pulled the trigger, silence.
Relief fell over my face as I passed the gun across the table.
He looked at me with a smirk on his face, held the gun in place and shoved his finger
down, this was no race.
My turn once again, I could only imagine all those gravestones in the black abyss with
the remains of others trying to pass this same test.
With my hand trembling, I raised it, clenching my finger on the trigger.
No more sunrise, no final goodbye's.
