The Nothing by Nicky Gray


The day was hot and my fur stood on end
My throat was dry and taking in a breath
it felt rough
Noises scattered in my mind
left and right
Something was wrong here
I lowered my stance and crept 
along the forest floor

Snap!

My breathing slowed, almost absent
My muscles tightened and I froze mid-stride
The lump in my throat grew
I felt as if I could not swallow

Bang!

I felt the pain, sharp and growing 
as I fell to the dirt
My veins pounding was the only sound
It echoed in my ears

Thump Thump Thump

My eyes grew heavy and my body felt strained
This was the end and now….

Nothing
