Humans fear the dark,
But what happens for those who seek it?
Does it make them less human,
Does it make them creatures?
Why do they like the dark?
Why do they seek it?
It’s not beautiful
It’s wickedly evident
That these people are not normal
We are not normal
We are the monsters that lurk in the shadows of steeples
Rejects that know their own worth as human’s equals
We may be different
We may be...
Louis was home alone for the first time. She had finally left her parents home. She loved her parents but they were strict and overprotective. Most people would be nervous but as night time fell and her parents were no where to be found, her stomach clentched a little and a bit of excitement cursed through her body. Out of habit she did what she had always done in her parents home, even though she...
Most people avoid the dark. They see imaginary ghosts and mystical creatures.
I suppose I should explain the type of darkness I am speaking of.
It’s the kind that settles in your closet once the sun sets. It’s the sort that makes you back away from the creepy shed. This darkness inflicts fear and pain.
But it is all a disguise, a defense. It protects what’s in the darkness.
What is in the darknes...
Deep within the heart of a dense, foreboding forest, stood an ancient mansion, its once-grand facade now weathered and decrepit. Shattered windows adorned its walls like hollow eyes, and creeping ivy draped over its crumbling bricks. Despite the ominous warnings whispered among the locals, a group of intrepid adventurers dared to venture inside, drawn by the allure of the unknown. Among them were ...
i am afraid
of the dark
but what would happen
if i forgot
that fear?
if i realized
that the dark
is just like the light,
i wouldn’t be scared.
except, you might say
we can’t see.
and what’s wrong
with that?
what’s so scary
about not knowing
not seeing
what’s there?
do you really need to know?
can you maybe enjoy
what is unknown to you?
but, you say,
something dangerous
could be lurking.

Where’s my angel?
Where’d she go?
Oh darling, she died
Forever ago
This new girl’s here
And I let her better
The one you once knew
Was such a beggar
Black platforms
And a wicked smile
I know it’s strange
Didn’t know me for a while
You watch as I spin
And slice
No mercy
Come on babe
I know you can’t hurt me
Anger blazing in your eyes
But I’m so cool
Wanna go for a ride?
So I take off
Leaving ...
As an inhuman scream echoed throughout the room, I remembered you. It was like being woken up from a dream, like fog drifting away from my mind.
I remembered you. I remembered everything.
Your skin was the first thing to fade. The skin that used to glow like moonlight, the skin that mesmerized me from the very first time I met you. You were beautiful.
As your skin started to melt into a murky f...
I sit on the very edge of my bed, ready to go if I have to. Which I probably will.
Looking through the corner of my eye, I glanced at the girl beside me. If she could even be called a girl. Was she a she or an it?
Tonight was a new moon, so the only light was from the stars. I could barely see her, she practically blended with the shadows dancing in my room.
She had black hair that went all the...
Humans fear the dark, but what happens to those who seek it? Haha, I’ll tell you what happens to those who seek refuge in my darkness.
Slaughter. Uff.
Like a rap.
Speeding up.
Oh my God—
GAINING FAME!
Haha, evil laugh.
Scared yet?
Oh babeee—
I’m just ramping up!
Here, grab my main beat.
I’ll die once again and go to hell.
Pull up, tell the devil I’m back.
Sharped teeth and talons.
Make the dev...
no longer able to fight, my eyelids came together with a thud. the very essense of sleep coursed through my veins as i felt my soul drifting through my chest. afraid to succumb to the darkness surrounding me, i released a final, shaking breath to counter the dull, jarring ache of my knees crashing to the floor. i knelt before the darkness not of my own accord, but in a final, desperate plea not to...
