A Game of Life


You sit in the dark
With a board on your lap.

Fate and Destiny circle around,
Watching your move like crows on a carcass.

Your last Knight glows and moves,
Pulsating a bright blue in the shadows.

Out of the inky black,
A pair of royal purple eyes narrow into slits.

The Knight falters;
A sword glints in the dark...

And a pile of ash lies on the floor;
Checkmate.

Life stares deep down into your eyes,
A cruel smile curling on his pallid lips.
