The sadness felt like sink sand,
at the top of an hour glass.
Slowly, sliding down,
little by little, less sound could be heard.
A vision came into his mind,
it was of a field of blue flowers,
waving gently in the wind.
Three children ran down the hill,
they were laughing, freely and innocent.
Playfully, they started rolling,
down the hills, through the flowers.
The lovely vision ended.
The sand was now over his head.
There was silence.
He took his last breath,
as his foot lodged in the center
of the hour glass.
His fight was over.
His time had come.

Llion the Brave Version 2
Her screams diminished as Llion was dragged away from the cell. The stench in the corridor was less but there was still damp, decay, defecation, death. His feet dragged, like a raggedy puppet, the guard either side of him holding him fast. He could feel their individual fingers digging into his scant flesh, leaving their impression on his bones.
