There is a Knock
I’m not finished! I need more time! I step closer, knowing he is not far now. Why? Knock… Knock… Knock…
What was that? A knock at the door? The window? Which one? I hear it echoing through my head. Please, someone make it stop, make it stop, make it STOP!!! I can’t take it! Knocking constantly, constantly knocking. They say he knocks. Why? Why would he knock? It makes no sense at all. Why? Why should he knock? Just thinking…
Knock… Knock… Knock…
No! I will not answer! But even as this thought runs through my head, I stand. Why now? Why tonight? Please, not yet. Not now, Not nowI need more time I tell you! I step closer, drawn inexplicably towards the door. Not now, not yet! Just another day. Let me do this when I’m ready. Another step. I can feel the energy from the door, from him. Please, not yet. Another step, close enough to touch the door. Why now? Slowly I reach for the door. The knob is cold. I don’t… I’m not finished yet! I’m not done! Please not now. I wait
KNOCK… KNOCK… KNOCK…
Slowly I open the door. Silver. Black. Swish!!! I see it all. The sickle flies through me. Never leaving a scratch. But I fall, I leave, I’m gone.
Knock… Knock… Knock…
He comes for us all. Death comes for us all. Can you hear him? Can you hear it?
sorry to disagree triss but if i can close the door on death, there is a door! if it wasnt for michael i would still be dead! yes i did say still! he saved my life a numerous amount of times but not only did he save my life, he gave me life!
Since when does death need a door? if it's your time, no door could keep the angel of death away, we cannot fight death, for it is the only pure thing in this world or the next
I hear him all the time. We are close friends but I just don't answer the door. Now he has started calling.
