DEATH

DEATH

By Okafor Ernestine Published 4 days ago 2 min read

In the quaint town of Ashwood, nestled in the heart of the Whispering Woods, death came knocking on a fateful evening. The sun had long since dipped into the horizon, casting a golden glow over the sleepy streets. The residents of Ashwood had retired to their cozy homes, unaware of the unwelcome visitor that lurked in the shadows.

Oh, death, respecter of no mortal, came stealthily, like an eagle swooping down upon its prey. His cold hands grasped the door knob, and no matter how tightly jammed, it was no match for his unyielding grip. The sound of the door creaking open echoed through the silent night, sending shivers down the spines of the gray and black hairs that stood on end.

The victim, a young man named Eryndor Thorne, lay in his bed, his eyes wide with terror, like a hen sensing the predator's approach. The sound of the ticking clock on the wall struck his heart like a whip, keeping him awake to wrestle with the inevitable. He accumulated courage to stand against the conqueror, his heart full of determination, ready to face the great battle that lay ahead.

As death entered the room, the trees outside seemed to writhe in agony, their branches creaking and swaying in the windless night. Every living thing shook with fear, sensing the horror that had befallen mankind. Eryndor's hands raised towards the sky, his eyes dripping with water, pleading for death to spare his life.

But death was unforgiving, as wicked as the ocean that takes who it pleases. Eryndor was but a chick in his cold hands, ready to be snatched away at a moment's notice. He was hidden in the most secluded place, his home, but there was no one to protect him from the clutches of death.

The battle between life and death raged on, with Eryndor fighting for every breath. His heart raced with determination, his spirit refusing to surrender to the inevitable. But death was a formidable foe, one that respected no mortal, and Eryndor's fate was all but sealed.

As the night wore on, the town of Ashwood slumbered, unaware of the struggle that took place in the Thorne residence. The wind whispered secrets to the trees, and the stars twinkled in the sky, but Eryndor's fate was already written in the annals of time.

And so, death claimed another victim, leaving behind a trail of sorrow and grief. The town of Ashwood mourned the loss of Eryndor Thorne, a young life cut short by the unforgiving hand of death. But even in the face of such horror, the human spirit found the strength to carry on, to defy death with every breath, and to honor the memory of those who had fallen.
