Cursed Angel

I heard an angel speak last night and he said "Run. Run as fast as you can from 
here." As he wept, his words sliced through me. Darkness lurks in the sky. 
Poison fills the tree's veins. Acid was eating at this beautiful angel. When he spoke 
again all he said was, "When you leave never come back." Never come back. Never. 
As the wind whipped my hair back, I was suddenly running. As fast and as hard as I 
could. Running. The shadows that lived in the Earth clawed at my ankles trying to 
drag me under. And as one caught me I fell down. The last thing that echoed in my 
head was "...never come back."
