Better Dead

by tempeste

Struck by a rogue bolt of lightning
our plane was nose diving;
below the vast, GREEN rainforest
of Amazonia.

Luckily, the thick canopy eased
the impact which knocked me out.

I woke up to the nauseating SMELL
of vomit, sweat 'n urine.

My SHIVERING body laid limp
on the plane's cold PAVEMENT.

My shattered nerves were at a MELTING
point when suddenly a noise I heard;

 a glimmer of hope that one of my mates
 had not yet met his final fate.

Heartened, I turned my head to see
but was met with a savage
covered in MUD coming for me.

 In the semi-light, he made a ghastly sight;
had beastly chiseled teeth
and a bone pierced through his nose.

My heart there and then froze.
