THE DARKNESS

CHAPTER 3

(AUTHOR)short story lang po ito kaya eto po ang inuuna ko:)
Keep safe!

Knight really wasn't much able to focus on work that afternoon either.

He decided to just give his brain a break and maybe read a news article. A paragraph in and he began to wander.The cave had become colder and wetter.

The light from the mouth of the cave had shrunk to a dot. "The darkness isn't always so bad" he thought.

"If this is a smaller beast I can just let it wash over me for a short while. I'm tired anyway. I can go curl up in my cell and let the darkness have control for a bit. I'll keep the cell door open of course so I can take back control whenever I want. I will just go spend the rest of the week down here." Another tentacle came slithering up the stair case and wrapped around his ankle. He had found his way from the news article, to Reddit, and then to Facebook.

He began to look through old photos and came across one from a Christmas party in college where he posed happily with his ex-girlfriend and many other friends from college. Some he had kept up with. Others he had not. Everyone, including he and his ex looked so happy. They broke up a week after the picture was taken. What nobody else saw was the huge black tentacled beast that was wrapped all about Knight. Nobody saw it then. Nobody saw it in this picture. Nobody except for Knight. Tentacles wrapped around every limb.

Tentacles coiled around his neck. There was one tentacle going in his mouth and down his throat. Another tentacle covered his eyes. The darkness had complete control of him then.

It moved him about like a puppet. He did what the darkness told him to do and said what the darkness told him to say.
