The Thing

Abigail Thompson had always had a fear of the dark.
Not a baby fear, but a real, true fear.
The way it slept back into the pathways and rooms, how it cast shadows along her walls. She needed light. It was her everything. And she loved it. She wouldn't bear with it.
Until the city's power goes out. For over a week. The dark will grow and overcome everything. With no lights, your mind will play games on you.

But this time, it's not playing.
