Out There

It encroaches

All around

Sit in your box

It's lonely

Silent

Feel it?

The presence is there

Over your shoulder?

What does it look like?

Will you die if you look?

It can't get in

Right?

Keep telling yourself

Repeat it

Until it loses all meaning

Maybe you should look

Just to make sure

But what if it's there?

Lurking

Do you feel it?

That paranoia?

Go outside the box

Maybe you can escape

It's crushing

The dark

The silence

There's no lights

Only a long hallway

You still feel it

The presence

It's all around

You can't go back

It's already there

Must choose

Left?

Right?

You turn left

It's behind you

You're paralyzed

The fear!

After many minutes

You run

Run forward

Like you'll die

Die if you stop

A light up ahead!

It's blinding

You squint

Keep sprinting

It's a dead end

There's a mirror

You see it

Your heart stops

Collapsed

Dead

A lone cadaver

In an empty hallway

Died of fear

In their own house
