When I was a child, I was terrified of the dark. It was because in the dark I was truly alone, there was no pretending that I wasn't. It was in the dark that my fears came alive. It was in the dark that my fears took control. It was in the dark that my fears had all the power.


There was nothing like true darkness that made me more conscious. 


The first time it happened to me that I remember was when I was sixteen. I had a negative reaction to a medication and my organs started shutting down. I never knew true fear until I was trapped in this darkness of my own mind. Grasping for the tendrils of light that displayed themselves on the other side of my eyelids, that teased me of the world on the other side. The world that was just beyond my grasp.
