Gloomview Headlights

Into this murky murk. One-way; no choice. Are those moths fooled. Temporary temptation or chapter two. There are more, but no one counts. Another. Dim. Gone... Bright. "Less dark" is more suitable.

Afraid Of The Dark

Fear fills the silence. And silence fuels the fear. The silence tricks your mind. Into seeing things that are not there. If you'd heard what I've heard. You'd never turn off the light.

In The Darkness: Chapter 1
