Eyes Wide Open
I had reached the quarantine
A hulking building
Towering over me,
An insignificant man
Against a menacing, singular enemy.
The place was an unforgiving prison
If nothing else.

I stumbled to its doors,
The wide open maw
Of a plague-ridden monster
And warily stepped inside.

The doors were not locked
And stood wide open
Which puzzled me,
But I did not think much of it.
More pressing matters
Inhabited my thoughts.

I didn't have time
To consider why
No one had hindered me from entering
The waiting beast
Nor why no one tried to stop me
As I wondered through the rows of glass cubicles
In search for my Hope.

I hurried
Like there was a rapid,
Malicious,
THING
Chasing after me.
I couldn't lose you,
Not again.
Not after all we'd been through.

I didn't know how much time I had left,
If any,
So I ran.

I ran like the end was near;
I didn't want the end to come.

It was not until
I stopped to catch my breath
That I realized
Every single patient I'd passed
Was dead.

My eyes were ready to pop out of their sockets
As I raced down the next isle of cubicles
And the next,
And the next.

All of their prisoners were dead,
Blood pouring
From various wounds
Their eyes wide open.

I could only hope
That you hadn't met the same fate.

I journeyed on.
