The Dark! - Original Writing

All I see before me is darkness-a cold and chilling sight compared to

the warmth my previous life had comforted me with. Everywhere I look

is black, not a light or spark in sight. The situation I find myself

in is so uncommon, yet so alluring to my senses. My body has become

numb from the cool wind blowing, yet the wind seems to touch my mind

as well, sending me into panic. Thoughts flow into my head. Where can

I go in such a place? Where is there to run to in the darkness? I look

at my feet- they are the vehicle for my journey, the only solution to

finding my way through this barren and desolate place. I close my

eyes, feeling my foot reaching out into the unknown, and as it comes

down, the blackness is gone.

I open my eyes to find myself in a world of lush green trees, birds

singing and sunlight streaming through the copious canopy above me. As

I start to move through the fertile surroundings, my body becomes

light, as if it has transformed into a dream. I continue to walk,

taking in the scenery around me, captivated by this new and exciting

wilderness. Suddenly I see a shadow looming above me. I turn, fast on

my heels to confront my attacker, to find no-one there. Yet the shadow

still looms. I fasten my pace, hoping to get away from my silent

follower. Yet the shadow still looms. I run, my feet lifting off the

ground as fast as they can, as they try to keep up with my beating

heart. I hear the shadow call out to me. “Faster, faster!” it yells,

“You are running out of time- hurry!” It still looms above me,

following me so that I can’t escape it. I begin to sweat. What am I

going to do? Who is this monster, hunting me like prey, forcing me to

flee? I run- run away from the shadow, run away from the voice, run

away from any comfort I had found.
