The day has come
The awaited moment has finally arrived
It crept up behind me
Unbeknownst to me, it approached quietly and stealthily
Tendrils entwine around my throat
Sinister forces begin to suffocate and control me
I barely notice
I am hardly aware or conscious of what is happening
My breath slowly disappearing
Gradually, my life force is fading away
