Fear the Dark

All I remember is that it was cold

I don’t remember when it happened

Or even where I was

But it was cold

Not the temperature, but rather, inside of me

Inside I felt a cold over whelm me

It was like nothing I had ever felt before

It was pure fear

The fear that monsters and demons feed off of

It was so vivid and surreal

Just black and cold

I couldn’t make a sound

And there was no one out there to hear me

Then, I felt my heart drop

I woke up in a sweat

And from somewhere, in my pitch black room

I could feel something watching me

Not someone, but something

Something dark and evil

That “thing” lives in the darkest corners

So, as a rule of thumb

I fear the dark and that thing living in it
