Graffiti-riddled tunnel,
round and round you go.
Is there a light at your end?

.................

Fire

Pulsating. Radiating. Emanating. Heat.
I feel it already, though I am not even close.
I walk forward, my desire encouraging me, pushing me.
Warm sweat slides down my stony face.
One more step. It has begun.

I see, I hear, I smell,
But I do not feel.
Smoke rises from the smouldering carpet of coal.
Scorching embers melt my flesh.

Still, I do not feel.
My feet touch solid ground,
Cool ground.
My journey is over.
I am free.
