Hell's Reign OSI prompt #115 reign

Volcanoes erupt and spew ash

She walks through molten fire

Rivers dry up and fish die

She walks on broken glass

Compost in landfill

She breathes rancid air

Toxic fumes rise and mingle with air in lungs

Coughing up blood and mucous

Eyes are bloodshot and teary

Earthquakes happen every 5 seconds

She has fallen in between the crevice

Tsunami wake upon innocent

She lets water fill her lungs
