Eyes in the mist
Nothing less, nothing more
Eyes of every possible color known to man and more
Shades of blue, shades of brown, shades of every color known then and now
Some are human, some are beast
Soulless blank stares is mostly what you see
Worse are the ones that have a spark of hope
Hoping for something else, something more
The eyes hide in the mist beyond time
If you have the misfortune venturing here be prepared to walk for eternity
Across deserts, across mountains, across lakes, across oceans
The whole universe you will travel
Though you can't see much but the ground beneath your feet
And the mist
And the eyes
If you shall give up, lay down, and perish
The only thing that will remain will be your eyes
Untouched by the passage of time
To watch the other unlucky souls that have ventured here
You'll watch them forever more
How do I know you ask me?
I have walk the land and sea in the mist
I have watched creatures of all types cease to be
I have gazed unblinkingly back into the eyes that follow
Now I am telling you this because
You have been unlucky enough to have wandered out of time
To walk for eternity
And be forever trapped
Watched by the eyes in the mist

— The End —
