horror

the abyss

I stared into the dark abyss. It moved. Breathing slowly. A large pulsating ooze. A thick blanket covering everything. A liquid coursing through the veins of the universe.

I sat atop my apartment complex, stargazing. It was a favorite past time of mine. I'd look at constellations, look for planets, shooting starts, satellites.
Tonight I was drawing in my notebook. The skyline. It was beautiful, all the city lights. But then i saw that power was slowly going out.
It took out city blocks, quickly shutting off. I stood up, knowing I had to get back inside fast. The lock on the door was electronic, and if I was still out here, I wouldn't be able to get back in until the power came back on.
I turned to open the door. But it wouldn't budge. It was almost like something was holding onto it.
I started pounding on the door, still trying to open it. 
"LET ME IN," I shouted.
But nothing happened.
And soon
The power in the apartment shut down. 
I looked around. It was dark. Only the stars and the moon were lit up.
But wait.
Where was the moon?
It was a full moon tonight, and I had just stared at it earlier.
It was gone. The moon was gone. I had begun to panic. What the hell was going on?
Then all the stars went out.
I sank to the ground.
It was dark. Completely dark. I couldn't see anything.
I heard screams in the streets. What was going on down there?
And I looked up.
I could barely breathe. My stomach sank.
The abyss glared at me. The deep dark abyss. I could feel my emotions, a million of them at a time, but I also felt... the abyss's emotions.
It pulsed. It growled. It dripped down from the sky.
It slowly dripped sinking lower. It covered the city. It covered everything.

I stared at the abyss. And slowly I felt my mind leaving my body and joining. Joining the abyss.
