The Horror Within

People say the dark terrifies them. That they can't stand to be in the darkness, especially alone. You may think it's because they're just scared of the dark, but its not. Its because they're scared of what's in the dark. The paranoia grows as they feel as if eyes stare across the room, white orbs in the midst of pure blackness. That's where the ultimate fear arises. You don't know if something is there or not. Its not when you know something is, its when you're trying to figure out.
However, sometimes it's best to not know there's a monster staring right back at you.
