Touch of Death

At the doorstep, someones beckoning me. Am being pulled into a deep void. Pitch dark with an eerie aura. Plagued by darkness I stumble forward oh where are you my friend?Time! your absence drives me mad. the mere thought of life seems like an elixir. Am parched like a barren desert, running, running, running without any direction. Overflowing with tears amidst the barren desert. I wail as ghouls goad me my whole body numb, I crouch and quiver, in in thoughts of my evil memories. Suddenly I feel the sun glaring on my face; to wake up in the hands of my neighbor. I hug him like its the end of the world. Joy i never knew gushed out in leaps and bounds. Ah! silly me, electrocuted by the doorbell yet happy to cheat death for even a single day on earth
