Ocean of Ghosts - A Death in the Desert

Death comes to all on this day. The Lord's hand smites this earth. This grave I have made for myself shall be my eternal resting place. Buried by soil and guilt heavy is this burden. May Heaven take me and cleanse my soul. May Heaven take me. Lying in the darkened earth, no soul around to hear my cries. I weep for all mankind and the stars weep for me, cry for me. My blood runs black. The red earth beneath my bones. The sky is on fire, my eyes fixed on the moon. I cannot breathe. I know my killer is out there. I cannot breathe. I know my coward is out there. Watching, waiting. The sun is setting. Watching, waiting. God's closing. Watching, waiting. I must hold.
