Surrender
April 4, 2013
The sound of falling rain,
a cool wet slaps my neck,
hairs rise.
Dark night sky,
grey-black,
with the aura of bright white.
Damp concrete,
the aroma of dull,
silent.
Gentle whistle,
soft rustle,
unknown sounds.
Street light flickers,
on and off,
on and off.
Steps slowed,
breeze chilled,
soft whisper.
Fast glance,
heavy breath,
quick.
Blurred vision,
panicked step,
cry out.
Hello,
hello,
hello?
Gasp,
give in,
gone.

Great! It left me with the sense of wanting to know more about what is happening.
