This is more of darker realms I prefer to not explore when I'm writing. But they do slip and spill, once in a while. And the result is what you're about to read.
The night, dark and moonless
Brightened only by few stars
A low light
Illuminated by an oil lamp
One foot after the other
Walking, walking
A stumble
A knee and four fingers on the ground
Curses as hand brush against damp cloth
More walking
The voices, talking in under tones
Jumbled phrases, beckoning
Clear one moment
Meaningless the next
Before they get loud
Snickering, persuading
A low chuckle
Mocking, daring
Those voices, ununderstandable
Yet familiar
Slippery fingers, twitching
Trying to grasp and failing
Once agile, fast
Now slow, useless not
But unsteady, shaking
More grasping
Eyes focused in concentration
Lips licked in anticipation
Satisfied smile flickering
Yes, winning, winning
