The Last Minutes of Peace

The world's a blur
Winding through streets of empty
Sore muscles
Out of breath
Out of fear
She ran as he followed

A pace so slow
Yet closing in
A grin of mirth
Yet much sinister
A figure so old
Yet so strong
She ran as It followed

All went blank
As she stared at the looming wall
Eyes averted towards her doom
Yet nothing appeared!
As tears of relief sprinted
The drumming inside her faded...
Her tale went far and wide
The tale of a woman who found eternal rest 
Before her doom.
