Trembling, I walked in a dark place holding the hand of death, only the wind whispered in the trees and I was peaceful; until voices were calling my name, over and over, and over . . . Coming to a stop, I twirled around. Was I to go back the way I had come? Hands were pulling at me and I was running- I woke up with a gasp.

Beautiful poem, it gives a new definition to the word "touch." Personally, I didn't even think of writing about a subject like death. That's not what I think of when I see the word "touch." This is a gorgeously grim piece of work, I absolutely adore it. Also, I hope you do well in the contest! Best of luck to you. :)

Chilling and haunting but so wonderfully written. This is fantastic, such a dark feel to this though an ending that breathes hope. Really nice. Best wishes in the contest.
