--

I call wildly into the abyss.

Commanding it to halt!

STOP! I say.

Unwilling to heed my demands

It hisses back

“I will not.”

Lunging forward

It leers.

Its heated breath cleansing the pores of my cheeks.

Before recoiling back into the ethers

Continuing on

Grinding me down

To a grain of sand.
