I was gonna die. This fate, my impending doom, was inevitable. I sat on the hard, cold floor. The room, in which I was confined, was small. The only light came from the glowing flames of 3 short candles . I watched the fire flicker and dance for a while, to keep my imagination occupied. My eyes started to droop, my heartbeat slowed, and the flames seemed to start dying down. Then, I looked over at the only other thing within the room, a slice of bread and a glass of water. Although I was hungry, I didn't dare bring either of the objects anywhere near my lips for fear that it was poisoned. It was a scary thing. You know you're gonna die, but you don't know how or when. It could be a week from now, or it could be seconds from now. My mind had tortured me with thoughts of exactly _how_ I would die.Would a deadly gas fill the room? Would it be quick? My fatigue had vanished, and my heart was pounding now. The flames were growing. I heard footsteps. _Tap, tap, tap_ The door opened. The flames blew out. 2008-03-10T21:34:18Z http://ficlets.com/feed/story/23703 <p>........</p> http://ficlets.com/stories/23703?basename=47178 2008-03-10T21:34:18Z invisibility_disability http://ficlets.com/authors/invisible_stories <p>you make me feel depressed and that&#8217;s saying something</p> http://ficlets.com/stories/23703?basename=46990 2008-03-10T01:51:31Z Disturbed Youth http://ficlets.com/authors/gothica <p>Ooh!
