Darkness Pt.1 The darkness, that consumes a mans soul, is more prevalent in some than others. Am I one of those men? Am I? Most would probably say yes, but their opinions are absolutely minuscule compared to the extremity that is the universe. It was an ordinary Saturday afternoon. I was walking home from my favorite donut shop, "Lard Lads" when I heard a voice from behind me, "Excuse me sir, but would you like to buy some cookies?" It was a group of Girl Scouts. "Uhh, sure thing, how much?" " Ten dollars a box," the tallest one replied, "or 18 dollars for two." I reached into my wallet and found a twenty dollar bill, I'll have to go to an ATM soon, I unconsciously thought. Then I asked for two boxes of Thin Mints, the best cookies I've ever eaten. When I got home, I tore open the first box, and shoved cookies in my mouth. After about twenty, I started to get woozy. "Whoa, I need to lie down." I made it half way to the couch before collapsing. I woke up in my bed, with a man in greasy overalls looking down at me. He wore a clown mask, eternally frozen in a psychotic grin. "Hello Paul, how are you feeling?" I heard a voice say. "Wha.. Who are you!" "No, Paul, I asked how you were feeling." I realized I was tied to the bed

A Clear Glass Window Looking out a window A clear glass window Wonder'in what dreams may lie ahead Looking out a window A clear glass window Wonder'in what the days will bring my way

Who Goes There? "Just a bit longer, mom." I groaned, feeling like I haven't slept in ages. "Come on Jerome, you have to go to school." "My stomach hurts." I complained, my eyes still closed. "No it doesn't. Come on." "Alright, alright. I'm getting up" I opened my eyes, but no one was there, "mom?" I got no answer. I went out into the hallway, it was pitch black all around. I felt my way to the light switch and tried to turn it on, but nothing happened. "Weird" I mumbled."Hello?" I said slightly louder, still no answer. I stumbled to the kitchen to find a flashlight, and I stepped in something warm and wet on my way. "Ugh, what was that?" I said to no one. I opened and fumbled through a drawer I thought was the right one until I felt the grip of the flash light. I pulled it out and flicked it on. To my horror, I saw that I had stepped in a pool of dark, red, blood. There were bloody foot prints and streak marks leading to me, from my foot, but there was also a pair of prints leading away and into the dining room. "What the..." There was a loud crash and a piercing scream. It sounded like it came from upstairs. I grabbed a knife and bounded up . I noticed that the foot prints went this way too. In my parents room, the sheets were rumpled, but no one was there. I felt a warm breath on my neck. I whipped around , nothing was there. "Okay, hahaha, you got me. Guys,what's going on? Hello?"
