Mid summer walking on the edge of a cliff

Something is weaving in and out of the shadows

Following, stalking me.

Must be some animal.  After all

Shadows don't move like that.

I continue to walk on the edge

Watching the shadow dance in and out of trees,

Not noticing pieces of it being left behind.

pieces of it moving closer to me

I hear something screech behind me

I turn

The shadow jumps out at me

Terrifying me

My arms flail out

My feet fall from under me

And i fall from the cliff

To the ground

Hitting it hard

With a loud

Wet

Thunk!

A burning sensation runs through my body

Why am I still concious?

Why do I still have thought?

Somehting warm is surrounding me,

Is it blood?

I look up at the sky,

The sun shining brightly way up high.

It's warm, I'm dizzy.

Am I dead, or am I about to be?

Now what?

An almost silent whisper speaks up,

"Is this what you want?"

I stay silent

Looking at the blue sky

The light dimming

And growing black at the edges

The light is gone

I'm thrown into total darkness

Is this what I wanted?
