Dancing with death
Let me hold your darkest endeavors
Attempting to infiltrate your corrupted mind
Where I try to comply
No. To attempt to comprehend
Why you danced with death
Why you convinced yourself
Your better off dead
Placing your hand firmly on the trigger
No. Trembling as you aim on the side of your head
Sweat gleaming, heart racing faster
And faster as you
Contemplate life -
Helplessly searching for that reason
For hesitation.
Hesitant to find anything
That life is worth living
Your surroundings gone
Just you and that gun
No. I dont Want to... *Click
Time stops
Your mind wanders
Your heart shatters
The gun jams
And reality hits you
like the bullet that should of.

Intense write
i feel the twitch of a finger the whole time in the back of my mind when i'm reading this
the short end of the straw drawn or the long one depending on how you feel that day
that opening line grabs on and doesn't let go with "Let me hold your darkest endeavors"
"Why you danced with death"- i imagine the graveyard from the live action Adams family movie in my head with all the awesome tombstones
hand on the trigger it all becomes surreal
the heart rate picking up pace as we read on
the pull
and the jam
now where to go from here....
it's a flash not for the faint at heart.
excellent write and feelings Purplekc
for an honest critique i'd say add a few line breaks so it's easier on the eyes and builds up the suspense
great job
