For Your Life

Acid rises and settles on your tongue as a bitter wind robs your lungs.

Even so, your feet hit the slats on the old train track, click clack.

Ice cuts through to the bone, your body turning to stone.

A shadow appears and the world goes dark, save for a flash and a spark.

Smell of damp decay and a metallic spray, why must it end this way?

A scientist by trade, but a creative at heart. One novel in progress with too many other ideas taking up space in my head. Some of those ideas end up here.
