The Darkness

The old man's crooked finger pointed accusingly at me, as he cackled, his yellow, bent teeth, adding an evil cast to his darkened face. By the light of the fire, he croaked "Boy, I've seen where you's been. I've been where you'll be. Yuh don't want this boy. This ain't for yuh. It ain't for anyone. But you's been stupid boy, stupid!" He shouted, "and now, you's got to suffer for it. There's still time for yuh boy. But, yuh must suffer. Continue on this path though, yuh will be like me boy. Wasted and alone. Ain't nothing else to it boy. Yuh either go through hell now, or yuh go through hell latter. And when it's latter, there's no escape for yuh boy, but if yuh go through hell now, yuh's have a chance." He cackled one more time, and then the crows swarmed him, and he flew off, into the distance. Cackling the whole way, one message ringing out till he disapeared "You's gotta make a choice boy, and you's gotta do it now. There's only one chance for yuh boy. One chance... one chance... one life..." and then he was gone. But still, his words lived in my heart. They lived in my brain. I knew what I wanted. I knew what I had to do. But I couldn't do it alone. That day, I shouldered my pack, and walked on, but I wasn't alone. I had my dog with me, my faithful companion. The one person that never gave up hope on me, till the very end. That dog saved my life, and my soul, I knew. Because I could see it in that man's crazed eyes that night. I knew then that if I didn't go back, I would surely die. That was the night were I became who I was meant to be.




There's a lot of metaphors/similes type of things, relating to things that do exist. If you can find them, kudos to you :) Happy Easter Everyone :) It's the day we celebrate the resurrection of our Lord, Jesus Christ. Without him, there would be no purpose for life, and I hope we can remember that
