Flicker
he came up out of nowhere.
 practically out of thin air.
 
 the stinging pain of his knife
 paralyzed my body as i 
 sunk to the damp floor. 
 
 the blood pooled around
 me, on the bitter tile floor.
 
 it takes all my strength
 to slowly roll over on my
 back, to stare at my
 killer’s face.
 
 his eyes, freeze me in 
 place, stopping all thoughts.
 
 hastily he turns unexpectedly
 and jostles the wooden table.
 knocking the candle over.
 
 the flame flickers for a moment
 before it goes out, taking my
 last breath with it.
