My heart beat wildly in my chest, I
could feel the air around me go stale.
The taste of metal on my tongue alerted me to a static charge in the
air. A burst of lighting shot through
the dark, followed by a thunderous boom.
I didn’t move. Death stared at
me, his dark skin matching his black cloak in the shadows.
“Why
are you here?” I asked bravely.
His
eyes grew even darker as he stared at me. “You already know why I am
here.” He walked closer, the air growing
colder with his every step.
I
could see my breath in the air now. The
lighting streaked the sky above me, lighting the darkness, outlining the figure
of the dark man. He reached for me, his
cold fingers traced down the bare skin on my arm. The icy touch froze my blood, and my
breathing became labored. He was going
to kill me. ©Alicia Rivoli 2014
