The gloom in the air was almost tangible. Each rattle of the old house sent shudders down my spine. I gripped my torch tighter, its beam cutting through the darkness. The stories whispered of ghosts that roamed these halls, and I was determined to witness them for myself. A sigh in the shadows sent a wave of excitement through me. Was it just the wind, or something more? I moved forward, my heart pounding with a mixture of curiosity.
A fall into Dust
The world below was a tapestry of ruined glory. Once vibrant hues now lay bleached, the remnants of a glorious. Footfalls sank into the yielding ground, a constant reminder of the passage. The sun hung low, casting long stretches that danced like spectral figures across the desolate expanse.
- Still
- Rustling
- Forgotten
An Orchestra of Obsession
The descent into destruction's grip is a silent affair. It begins with whispers, a fleeting pleasure that quickly morphs into a consuming symphony. Each injection is a chord in this dissonant composition, playing on the deepest desires within. The music escalates, its melody lulling the soul into a temporary sense of bliss.
- The spirit becomes a captive audience, its strength fading
- Loved ones fall victim to the siren song of addiction, their voices drowned out by the ever-louder anthem
But even within this turmoil, there is a flicker of resilience. The symphony may continue, Requiem for a dream but the possibility of healing awaits
Waning Light
As the sun sinks below the horizon, a sense of peace washes over the landscape. The vibrant hues of day transition to soft, gentle tones as the sky shimmers with shades of orange. Shadows grow, reaching out like tentacles across the ground. The world slumbers, preparing for the embrace of night.
The last rays of sunlight paint the clouds with a final burst of light. A lone bird warbles its evening tune, a haunting reminder of the day's end. Stars begin to twinkle in the deepening blue, their distant light a hope of the wonders that await in the darkness.
With each passing moment, the light fades. The world shifts, surrendering to the beauty of the night.
Hope's Lament

From the inaugural movement, filled with faint remnants of belief, to the ultimate movement, which accepts to the inevitable reality of absence, the Requiem paints a vivid portrait of the human spirit grappling with grief.
The Price of Paradise
