Analysis of Darkness
“Sitting on the void, staring down upon the darkness that stews below me like a dormant volcano on the cusp of eruption. Rising and bubbling, spewing bellows of smoke and ash consuming all light. I begin to lose sight, I feel the darkness overflow over me like molten lava it flows over me pushing me down making it hard to breathe. I try to scream for help but No one can hear me as if I’ve gone mute. I see only my fears, and failures they consume me and taunt me for they know I’m to weak to stand a chance as I see my future slowly fall to demise a small but powerful flick awaken me. And just as quickly as it began it ends. A nightmare in the night reminding me how easy it is to fall.”
