The Beginning


Like a black cloak, it swarmed around me. Like black spiders spinning a cocoon of web around me. Fighting it when I can't see. Fighting it while I become numb. Now its nothing but absent. Now as I close my eyes and say goodbye. My mother's hand, surrounded by light reaches for me. Sucked into an unknown light, into an unknown place, into the beginning of the end.
