FEAR of the Dark

The darkness was haunting. It was all around me. It was like some strange mist. It seemed to be engulfing everything within its range like some huge monster. I was scared. Flashes of light hit my retina as I closed my eyes. I felt piercing pain that seemed to circulate throughout my body. It felt like someone had poked a pin right into my eyes. There was no sound coming from anywhere. Where was everyone? What were they doing? I thought of screaming but the cry did not escape my throat. I was sweating profusely.

Just then……the light came back!!!!!
