Into the darkness

I turned back, looking at the obstacle strewn road which has been disintegrated by my odyssey up till now.

Looking forward, I see darkness. It seized me, slowly squeezing every drop of sanity that is left in this battered and war-stricken body.

I looked forward once more, unmoved.

I edged my stallion towards the darkness, hoping it shall not consume me as I had, of its cousins before it.
