The Abyss

Beyond the known likes the unknown; That, darkened abyss where, nothing seem real until it’s experienced. Tomorrow hides there; huddled in a black crevice and ready to spring on cue. Everyone will experience her secrets when, she decides to reveal them. Sometimes this cruel mistress preys on, those least expecting it; she may tempt first; her attractive freebies usually, aren’t worth taking. The abyss also harbors the dark side of the human; choices lie there which, turn a human into a hero or a monster. Some choose the hero within and fate steps in to hail them. Others choose the monster; no glory hails a monster; they seal their own fate in empty darkness and can never crawl out. The labyrinthine abyss feeds on human ego; gnawing away everything, including the soul. Heroes are the only ones to, Escape…their taste is bitter to the abyss’s palate. Monsters love control; once relegated to the abyss they, can only terrorize and destroy before they are devoured and they love targeting heroes. On earth, heroes are that coveted, bull’s-eye; the monsters take aim and fire away but, they never realize that, taking down a hero always backfires. When it does; they abyss dines heartily.
