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.
