"The Final Entry"
A Steem Monsters Story by @stevecronin

I was once like you.
Seated by the fire among friends and party-goers. Offering half-smiles and sarcastic smirks to their stories, steadily pacing my glass of mead, and receiving propositioned glances from powdered faces with glowing skin.

I was once alive, a state of being that has become lost on me.

Have you ever fully acknowledged and enjoyed the firmness of walnut? Or, the warmth that makes contact with your body as if it's traveling through the air just to say hello. The eyes that lock on to yours, transmitting messages of affection?

For me, now, all of that is gone. For, I've been robbed. Like honey torn from a bee; a life's purpose purpose transformed into fuel for drunks.

If you're reading this, you're now aware of the brutal fact that I'm only beginning to accept: I'm dead.
