Dark.
It was all that existed.
All that ever had.
And all that ever will.
It terrified me.
I could feel it holding me down.
Trying to drag me
further
and further
and further

I never left it's icy grasp.
I could feel it.
Snaking across my skin.
Sliding
Slithering
Slipping
All over me.
There was no one else with me.
Just myself and the darkness.
But every now and then,
I would hear
voices.
Sometimes they were nice.
Whispering sweet things to me.
Like,
They loved me
They would always be with me
And that I would be okay.
But sometimes.
All I could hear were screams.
I wondered what it was like to speak.
Sometimes I tried to talk to them.
But nothing would come out.
I didn't think I could.
The darkness was overwhelming me.
Clawing
Scratching
Biting
Until I was too tired to stay awake.
I fell back under it's power once again.
