As i walk through the rain the blood trickles down my arm then down to my findertips. With my hands at my side the blood drips on the sidewalk. Lightning lights up the sky and the rain dances on the road. "Why?" I asked myself. tears streamed down my face as i kept walking. My arms go numb. My hands go cold. "what happens next?" i whispered. My pace doesnt slow but my heart throbs. i fall to my knees. i grip at my heart but there's nothing there-only emptyness. It still throbs. "Whats going on?" I lay in a puddle and watch the rain. It mocks me, dancing all happily without a care in the world yet i lay here dieing. the puddle i lay in turns red and a black rose is dropped right in front of my face. "whats this?" i ask as i reach for it. i p***k my finger on the thorn. I pull myself to my feet and begin to walk again. im cold. im pale. im alone. blood pours down my arms. still they dont hurt. what hurts is the hole in my chest where my heart is supposed to be. the lightning continues to flash but i hear no sound. then out of the coner of my eye i see a figure in black. "hello?"i call but recieved no awnser. i hastily walked toward the figure. but i got no closer to it. i began to run to it still no closer. i trip cand fall. i look over and see the rose. the black rose from before. "whats this?" i go to touch it again and like before p***k my finger. then the figure approches. i lay bleeding and cold. the rain continues to dance. the lightning continues to flash soundlessly. closer and closer he came. i look up and saw no face. it cant be. he holds his hand out and i reach up to take it. when i touched his hand the pain was gone. how? who is this stranger? he pulled me to my feet and still showed no face. on his back he carried a scythe. could it be? he reached down and picked up the black rose and placed it delecately in my hand. the rain still danced and lightning still flashed. then i realized who this man was. he looked at me though i saw no face. sympathy mabe? no that couldnt be. i saw a glimse of a ery smile as he turned to walk away. "wait!" i called as i reached out for him. "dont go!" i grabbed for the tears in his long flowy black cloak but my hand went right through. "please." i cried as i fell to my knees. "take me with you." then he was gone. he vanished in the darkness. i looked down at the black rose in my hands. then looked back up. the rain still danced and the lightning still flashed. "why did he leave me like this?" i look back ar the rose it lay in both of my hands that were overflowing with blood. the hole in my cheast still hurt. the rain continued to dance and lightnig flash then suddenly i hear thunder. i sat there on my knees and then everything went black.....
