Wreathed in scarlet, golden sea above,
Draining as the grains fall one by one,
Sky of embers falling to dark.

Orbs below, gleaming back,
Beseeching the flowing fire to stay,
Seeing nothing,
Watching all.

Idle eyes of the heavens peer humbly
Behind clammy hazes of evening mist,
Bathing in the black,
Suffering the molten fire no more.

Crimson lights overhead
Condensate upon the naked eyes below,
Sinking and rising with the child's alarmed breath,
Living what stories it cannot tell.

Beneath blankets of nebulae,
Twilight fire rushes as a newborn river,
Drowning in power,
Breathing in blood.
Kay guys, it's been a while since I wrote any poetry, but I was feeling poetic and L4D-y so I sat down and puked this out.
It's very abstract, but it's meant to be that way. Through the eyes of an infected, nothing would seem solid and logical, only instincts and conundrums..for example, why is the sky darkening?
Being reduced to an animalistic state, yet still somewhat maintaining a human mind, is something really interesting to me.

This is meant to symbolize the Hunter's first night, right after becoming infected. He's scared, he doesn't want the night to come. The fire of the day lives on through him as he tears through the city, discovering his newfound strengths.
Yeah, so, what do you guys think? Should I write more for other infected or somethin?

...This is probably one of the most vague L4D fan-literature-doodads there is..
