Death Watch

General
He will wait until the end of time, and when time has ended, he will wait still longer.
The cool rain outside sends tendrils of fog creeping from the river and they slip into the tomb, ghosting over names and dates like chilled fingers grasping for a hold on damp grass. From a crumbling corner comes the steady drip of water, slipping through a crack in the stone roof and dropping to join its drowning brothers below.
The last safe place.
The dripping water makes a steady ticking sound, like the beat of a natural drum, echoing off long-crumbling walls and stone tombs, repeated a thousand times or more.
A living corpse, not completely out-of-place with the dead. He shudders in the corner, shudders and waits.
And he will always wait. Until the end of time. Until, finally, one day, there is nothing left to wait for.
Forgive me, his silence shrieks, filling the space with echos of sorrow. Blind eyes stare at death, watching, waiting.
Forgive me. I make no sound, but I must scream.
