EXCERPT
It’s only when we get to meet death personally and stare into its darkness that we will ever really feel the raw emotion and fear that the darkness brings in the last fleeting moments of our lives. We all think about it and sense when it’s coming. But like most unpleasant thoughts, we disregard it, choosing to ignore the niggling doubts our instincts are so desperately trying to warn us about. So when I walked home that night and took my usual route across the isolated beach, I felt danger was coming. My body tried to warn me that something wasn’t right.
Why didn’t I listen to it?
The hairs on the back of my neck began to stand up in protest. Fear travelled through my veins and pumped its poisonous venom straight into my heart. The panicked beats of my heart drowned out the sounds of the crashing waves as they pounded the shore. I was too late. I was nearly at the other end, and it would have been quicker to keep moving.
The clouds were closing over me, and the sun was far out into the distance, ready to rest its tired head for the night. There would be no point in turning back now. So I lunged forward toward the exit. I desperately tried to get to the stairs so I could take the last step from the cold, wet sand and onto the familiar stone of safety. But as I placed my left foot on the step and relaxed my body, I felt a sharp pain at the side of my head. A strong, cruel grip wrapped itself around the top of my arm, and my feet left the safety of the ground. I flew across the sand through the cold air and landed directly on a rock. The pain was crippling and rendered me semi-unconscious. I was unable to focus on any object or stand up and run from whatever force of nature had tried to take my life. I lay there for a minute and tried, frantically, to muster the energy so I could escape the situation. I needed to get home. The blood from my head trickled down the side of my face, and I needed help. My eyes tried to adjust back into focus and looked for someone to come to my aid, but I could see no one.
As I lay on the dampness of the sand, I looked into the night sky. I watched with panic as dark shadows emerged and hovered over me as if they were lost souls that danced over my vulnerable body. At that moment, everything stood still. Time and existence froze as I looked upon the lost souls that waited eagerly to take my life. A life I hadn’t yet lived. I was only sixteen, and there was so much left to do: finish my exams and smoke weed. Kiss Peter Jackson, the high school hunk. Or even make love.
Then all my thoughts were gone. All that was left was acceptance that it was my time. There was no way out of it, so I closed my eyes and accepted my fate. “Oh, come on. It’s no fun if your eyes are closed.” I jumped. My heart leapt straight out of my chest and slammed back inside me.
I looked up toward the shadows that had formed a ring around me. They danced delicately over my body, and in the centre was darkness, a shadow that had crept out from the night and lingered over me. A dark energy had my wrists and pinned me to the ground, leaving me paralysed. I stared up at the silhouette, and I watched with terror as the monster shifted, forcing an impression of a human face while he tried to form in our realm. My alternate perception showed me his true form.
His head shook erratically from side to side. He had me distracted. Within an instant, he had successfully transcended and he was sitting down on top of me.
All I could see was his deep, penetrating eyes. They seemed almost hypnotic, but were filled with sin. They were soulless and without a touch of humanity. He was the Devil on his darkest day.
