Darkness Within

Once again, the footsteps became louder. Jin had heard those footsteps for more time than he bothered to count. Each time it approached Jin, it would point the barrel at Jin's head. "All you have to do is speak, and I will disappear from your life." That low pitched voice said the same thing yet again.

Jin did not know whether he should give up or if he should accept the voice's proposal, he had been hearing the same thing for hours...for days maybe even weeks.

"Everyone carries a shadow." The voice spoke as it slowly paced around Jin and this time around, he placed the gun at the back of Jin's head.

"The less the shadow is embodied in the individual's life..." The voice paused his sentence and Jin could feel its presence lurking right beside his ear. Jin did not dare to move since any drastic movement would result in colder harder chains tying him up even tighter than before.
