The Downpour

It was raining. No, it was a total downpour. "How in the world can we walk down home in THIS ..??!!" I asked my other friends. But in the midst of all the noise I went unheard. Not that it would have made any difference. After all we had no other choice.

Eternal Shadows

I fell. I staggered up.
But fell again.
I turned,
and there was this thing.
Looked closer and there it was.
My shadow.
I got up.Walked.
Then ran.

I turned back.
No shadow.
I fell.

Soothing, eternal darkness.
