Drowning in Darkness [On HOLD]

You grapple with the darkness in a never-ending tug of war. Some perish in the darkness, others rise above it, and some, Embrace it.

The flames flickered in my eyes as I watched the raging inferno raze my home to the ground. I watched my very soul burn in that fire, the same fire that took my father's life. My mother disappeared without a trace that night. I thought I've experienced pain, I was never so wrong. There's nothing worse than this, the pain and horror of watching helplessly as your most loved one's life burns away in front of you. How the light fades from their eyes, how their expressions turn frozen.

It's like having the worst nightmare that everyone fears, coming to life in front of your eyes. It was like a thousand knives burrowing into my heart, I felt broken, dead. Once you lose those you love, it changes you. Into someone different, into something different. At first, it was sadness, then loneliness. It took a while but that was the quiet before the storm. That night, I swore I would watch the monsters who did this burn in the flames of hell, even if it meant bathing the world in blood.
