Madness

Last night I had a dream.

It was quick and to the point.

A flash of steel.

A clean slice.

And, just like that, it was done.

A vertical line

On my arm.

From

Elbow to wrist.

I lifted my head

Quickly.

Wide eyed.

And crazed.

You were shocked

As you met my gaze.

The blood

Shed

Rapids.

It gushed, in rivers.

And

Just like that

I was dead.
