The end
The end is here.
The edge is near.
Just one step. A brush of fear.
A spark of life overwhelmed by strife.
The blink of an eye. A slice of a knife.
"LOOK OUT!" "WATCH OUT!".
A warning given too late,
is the new command to open the gate.
You fall and fall.
Scream as you descend.
Hit the rocks below... and reach... THE END"
