**It was dark, but**

**that was the usual.**

**On this side of town,**

**power outage was the norm.**

****

**It was dark, but **

**it all felt so wrong.**

**The atmosphere changed, and**

**a chill went down my spine.**

****

**It was dark, and **

**I was alone…**

**Or so I thought!**

**I sensed the presence of another.**

****

**It was dark, but**

**I could still see. **

**From my periphery,**

**I could see a shadow.**

****

**It was dark, but**

**that was beyond the point.**

**Something bad was about to happen,**

**and I was to be the victim.**
