Sometimes there are bonds...
Bonds that drag us down paths less traveled...
These are the bonds thst curse you.
They haunt you.
He haunts you.
You can already feel him, can't you?
You can feel the anxiety, the pure, irrational terror of him. The only thing to be afraid of is not the dark, but the only thing that fears the light.
He is there.
Behind you.
Don't look back, just know that he is there, waiting, waiting for you to see him, and when you do, you would wish you hadn't...
