All I heard was a tick-tick-ticking.
My environment was surrounded in pitch black.
I stumbled my way to the door, but it was sticking,
and I knew I had no hope of turning back.
I turned around and my breath stopped.
Deep soulless eyes, a dark red glowing
and my heart nearly popped.
All around I felt time slowing.
My feet could not move. They were stuck.
The creature exhaled with a hiss.
With lightning speed, the claws struck.
I had no choice but to suffer death's kiss.
