Time
Everything was going great. The lights were lit.
The moment was memorable. Nothing could have stopped me.
Nothing could have stopped me. Now nobody can get in my way.
I'm free, powerful, and unstoppable.
And then I saw it.
The damn lights.
The red and blue swinging and spinning lights.
The loud ear deafening noise.
And that's when everything went out.
The lights dimmed and I wish I didn't remember this moment.
Everything froze. The clock stopped ticking.
Its clock arms are as weak, dead, and drained as mine.
But for the first time I wished the clock stayed frozen.
I didn't want to know what the future had planned ahead I was afraid.
The time was 3:27 AM.
I was afraid to know what 3:28AM had in mind for me.
I didn't want to know. I don't want to know.
I shook. I shake. I shook. And I shake.
The trembles. The body shivers up my spine.
Fear. Fear creeping up on me. As every second ticks..
Ticks..tick tick tick. Every bone crackles.
And just before I know it, everything goes black.
Black, cold, numb…Free.
I present to you, Time.
