DEATH (Beta Version)

by Terry Olynik

Amanda sliced the carrots
For the night's beef stew.
She was once again drawn
To the sharpness of the knife,
And it's clean, effortless cuts.
A blade which could in an instant
Give her blessed relief
And an eternal slumber.

The chuck steak had burned,


Sealing her decision.

I thought of this years ago but all I end up doing is sharpening my kitchen knives for the day. Over and over and over again! It works quite as a beta.

Terry, I love how you have taken us on the small journey from the mundane to the morbid. Such a short journey for mankind.
