It is common

to be afraid of the dark,

to be afraid of the unknown.

All humans fear the dark.

But what happens

for those who seek it?

They are the brave,

the reckless,

they care not for

their own selves,

but for

the uncovering of

knowledge,

knowledge we

are afraid of uncovering.

And yet,

they are just as feared

as the dark,

as the unknown,

simply because

they know

the unknown.
