"Empty Park Bench"I am a empty park bench. I have been through bad and good weather, various people have placed their weight on my back for me to give them a break. Through the years I have made friends with random people and the nature that surrounds me. Unfortunatly in some occasions I was brutally scarred, people have ravaged my body and left their mark on my skin. Since I was young I've wanted to visit other places but have been confined to where I am by some unseen force, maybe god. I don't want to be like others and stay put until I rott and whither away and the reaper takes you for the ride through the river of styx. I can already feel my life being drained away, it feels as if termites are coursing through my veins and destroying my insides. I can only pray that when the fat lady sings she isn't on top of me. -Christopher A. Funes..
