     This was from a mad write ... had twenty minutes with one sentence to place someplace within the story. Granted, now I don't know what sentence that was... LOL

From the murky depths of darkness, there does stir within a pool, a creature of demise.  Woken now, from its seemingly eternal slumber, to walk the Earth and take its prize.


Through the trees of a forest, a harsh cold wind does blow, biting through the skin to chill one to the bone.  Whispering impending death and doom, to fall upon the land, as the creature of demise unfurls its wiry wings.  Its wounded soul wanting nothing more than cold hearted revenge upon those who have imprisoned it within these walls of sand.  Many eons spent, slumbering beneath the land, as waves crash upon a sandy beach while ocean caps shimmer beneath a warming sun.  The laughter of children swimming within the sea and their precious little feet pounding, oh so loudly, upon his roof of dreams from so far above.  Years of  torment, its eyes cried dry now fill this vast sea of love; nothing left to hide from now, as it breaks the chains which do bind this creature of demise.  And from the ocean it rises, blackening the sky and blocking out the sun.  Hideous creature, demise surely is, as it takes its final plunge.
