In
The Demon's Head #111: Awaiting At the Gates

HAPPY
FRIDAY! See I started the week saying happy Monday, and I realized real quickly
how much of a bullshit statement that was. However, happy Friday does the trick
it seems. I hope that you have enjoyed the "Sands Of The Forgotten"
trilogy. Today we wrap up that trilogy with the final piece this week. Before
reading them though check out part 1 and part 2. Now let's take a look at the
picture:
Awaiting
At the Gates
I
don't know what got into me,
I
picked up the gun,
If
that's what you could call it,
And
I ran,
I
don't know if I expected to fix things,
Or
change anything,
But
I stormed ahead anyway,
The
machine locked,
And
before I knew it,
It
was over,
The
world went black,
For
a split second,
Then
Another brilliant white light,
Flashed
Into my vision
That
same disembodied voice,
Began
to talk,
"This
is what's coming,
There's
no stopping,
No
halting,
No
fixing,
They
are coming,
And
coming for you,
And
your entire planet,
They
will take no prisoners,
And
You will never win,"
I
stood stunned,
"How
do you know this?"
I
heard the clinks and the clanks,
As
the machine rolled forward,
It
looked half human,
Half
Robot,
It's
face twisted into an eerie smile,
"Because
I plan your futures,
And
I want your future,
To
be non-existent,"
A
laugh came from deep within the machine,
From
inside my head,
My
brain kicked in,
"Explain
The Pyramid,"
I
called,
"We
built it years ago,
And
hid it from your people,
Because
We only wanted them to know of our coming,
When
we finally did,
Now
that you've been locked inside,
People
will come looking,
And
the news will spread,
Eventually
everyone will be afraid,
Of
what's to come,
And
we will strike,
Without
a Warning,
But
don't fear,
It
will come quick and painless,
Enjoy
what's left of life,
Because
Soon,
It
will no longer be there,"
The
light suddenly faded again,
And
when I came to this time,
I
could feel the Sun warming my face,
I
heard footsteps,
And
I opened my eyes,
I
looked around and saw my crew,
And
realized that I was under a tent,
"What
happened?"
I
asked,
My
voice was faint,
And
almost gone,
"You
passed out,
Doc
thinks it's from heat exhaustion,"
I
nodded,
I
tried to recall parts of the world,
That
I had been in,
But
they were fading,
I
chalked it up,
To
just oddity,
In
my brain,
Then
the ground began to rumble,
And
I heard someone call out,
"My
God,
The
sand is flowing,"
About
The Piece
"Awaiting
At the Gate" closes out the "Sands Of The Forgotten" trilogy.
While the ending that we have now wasn't quite the ending I had originally
planned, neither was a better portion of the piece itself. I had pictured
something a bit different in our futures but it didn't quite work out that way.
Things like that though make it entertaining to be a writer, and hopefully
entertain you as a reader.
