last imprint


Behind her she heard screaming. Along with it came a sorrowful tide, that almost shook the ground. Standing at the point where dawn and dusk seemed to meet, she had fixed her gaze on a leafless tree growing on cold black soil. Mixed varied emotions engulfed her.

She admired the moist blanket of moss and lichen that had covered the branches of an old tree. As she turned around, she saw her body lying on ground amidst her loved ones. She wanted to return, but it was time to leave. She tried but couldn’t be heard anymore. Death had embraced her.
