The shadows cling, and silence deafens all


    While time arrested halts its endless flow.


    There is no wait because the wait can''t end.


    How long? Forever. Never. Evermore.


    Then one by one at last the lights appear,


    Opening like eyes amidst the gloom,


    The narrative has been illicitly obtained; should you discover it on Amazon, report the violation.


    And suddenly the darkness seems a friend


    Amidst infinity''s cold, mirthless glare.


    Time jolts. It starts. Stops. Stutters. When is here?


    How did the Void become a trusted peer?


    When darkest laughter pounds against the ear


    The old, familiar words again ring clear:


    You were never a very good orc.
