A Short Battle

A Short Battle

She fights an unseen foe; battling till beads of sweat turn to blood on her brow. Tears running down each cheek in exhaustion. When she at last falls; nothing left to muster from the pits of her soul. It's before a still pond. She at last sees her foe.  Equally battered, exhausted, and worn. For she fought so completely against herself.

Raven…I really enjoyed this write.  The foe may be unseen but it is surely known. And it is a battle, in theory, that can't be won.  A battle fought on a barren desolation of internal struggle.  Yes, it is very exhaustive but the need to continue to try to force a breach is relentless.

Well done!
