The Fall

I saw it! It came to me in a dream or was it a vision?

The bottomless depth of despair I plummet, nauseating vertigo envelops me in the sweet nothingness of the darkest of dreams. A realm of nowhere, fear consumes me as I struggle to remember, it begins to feed off of my hope so only despair remains. I desperately claw at the blackness as I fall, reaching for the light as it dissolves in to oblivion. The icy cold burns my flesh pulling me deeper into the dark ink like abyss. I choke on my guilt as my defiance suffocates me. A primordial rage escapes me filled with rebellion and laced with contempt as the deafening roar of an unquenchable fire draws near. My thoughts and senses are terrified by the pungent smell of sulfur, seared flesh and suffocating smoke. Every fiber of my existence begins to scream for mercy as I plummet towards the lake. The condemning words of the righteous one, “I did not know you” echo in my mind for an eternity.

Then I wake.

Thank God it is not too late!
