Part 3 of a 4 part story/poem
The Fog
Like a curtain in ascent
that lifts up gradually,
the misty shadows of the night
revealed themselves to me.
To my shock the wrecks of cars
appeared all round
then I saw the bodies that
were lying on the ground.
With further lifting of the fog
I caught a startled breath,
for then I saw I was surrounded
everywhere with death.
The city lay in ruins
what a devastating sight!
Just a pile of rubble
lying crushed beneath the night.
What is this catastrophe?
And what could be the cause?
this thing that's all around me is
defying natural laws.
Dazedly I walked along
eventually to stop,
when I saw a mirror
in the wreckage of a shop.
Cautiously I looked at it
though it appeared dull,
then I saw my image there
was nothing but a skull!
A blackness overwhelmed me
as consciousness withdrew,
as my body tumbled down
the fog swirled in anew.
