Downward Spiral

by Chris Hall - Cancer

As the hot stink of his breath enveloped me, 
I wondered what my child was doing.
Surely she must be playing with the wild dogs...
Or are they playing with her?
I fell deeper into my trance and gazed into the night.
Shadows were upon us quickly...
And we fell into a downward spiral...
Into the sea of oblvion.

Reason for writing:

    A young woman and her lover have just been killed in a car accident...these are her last thoughts.
