An irrational fear of the dark makes Adrian live a life meticulously illuminated, every corner of his existence bathed in artificial brightness to ward off the shadows. But is it an irrational fear, or does he see something in the dark that no one else does? What would it take for him to silence the monsters that live in the dark?

ONC Prompt:
3. Your greatest fear is monsters in the dark. The last thing you expect is to become the Monster in the dark.
