Days of Darkness

Day 1
The Sun slowly falls from the Sky
The Shadows quickly rise from the Earth
Darkness encloses and covers me

As with chains of steel…
panic holds me
As with bars of iron…
despair imprisons me

The Darkness is alive with whispers and maniacal giggles
I cower in a darkened corner sobbing praying for Daylight

Day 2
Hands thick and strong grab at me
Claws long and sharp seize me
Slimy spindly scaly arms embrace me
Horrible stinking breath sickens me
Terror rising slowly in my throat strangles me
It is very…hard…to…breathe

I am petrified…and I run.

Day 3
Darkness chases me
My head pounding
My lungs burning
My legs straining
My heart hammering
My mind racing
My tears flowing
Darkness chases me

Day 4
I am so tired
I collapse…exhausted
Hands thick and strong grab at me
Claws long and sharp seize me
Slimy spindly scaly arms embrace me
Horrible stinking breath sickens me
The Darkness has caught up with me
I give myself to Doom

Day 5
The Darkness is alive
with whispers and maniacal giggles
The Darkness is alive
accusing me taunting me reminding me

I cringe at the thought
I close my eyes in desperation
I cry out in agony
I weep in bitter frustration
The Darkness laughs at me

Day 6
I shriek in frustration
I cry out in anger
I scream in hatred
I call out in defiance

The Darkness stops dumbfounded
I pull out my flashlight
The Darkness stares fascinated
I aim my flashlight
The Darkness stares in wonder
I turn it on
The Darkness flees in terror
I laugh

The darkness is alive with snores and dreamy giggles
I curl up to sleep in a darkened corner waiting for dawn

Day 7
The Sun quickly rises in the Sky
The Shadows slowly fall to Earth
Darkness frees and uncovers me

I am released.
