ETERNAL DARKNESS

—BLAZE MCROB—

Shivering in my room, I cower under a blanket, not needing it merely for warmth. It is my shield between what exists in here and what resides out there.

Damn! I don’t really know what lurks beyond my walls, what lies in waiting on the other side of my door. Who can see in this darkness? Certainly not me. I’ve had night blindness since the age of three.

Darkness brings changed landscapes, one folding into another, embracing the shadows until all is the same. With an absence of light comes a panorama of black, the visuals forcing their way into my mind, being introduced by way of my other senses.

No stars, no moon, no street lamps shining. Not in here. There are no windows, and there is no light to permeate any recesses or cracks present within the shoddy construction of my room. Why? Surely there must be light somewhere. How could it be otherwise?

Pressure on the other side of the blanket tells me I am not alone. I fight against it, trying to hide beneath the gossamer fabric, but it does no good. Whatever is there does not retreat. It merely pushes harder and harder until I fear I will be smothered if I allow the blanket to remain over me.

Fighting back, I battle for my life, the entity forcing itself on me becoming more persistent, using more strength with every passing moment. It wants to smother me! No … no, it can’t!

What feels like a hand pushes down on my nose and mouth, forcing the ragged cotton into those orifices. My hands reach up to shove it away, but they meet with nothing. The pressure remains, but there is no solid substance to grab onto and attempt to gain an upper hand.

In desperation, I bite into the pressure, feeling my teeth take hold of my antagonist. The force is released as the startled entity backs away, allowing me enough time to throw the blanket to the side.

Following the sound of it moving across the room into a bare corner, my fear remains. It has not chosen to leave my room. It intends to stay. Shit! How long will this thing attempt to conceal itself? I’ll be attacked again by this monster of limited substance but with strength far beyond mine.

The darkness is its friend. It can see or, at least, it can manoeuvre in the never ending black using other powers at its disposal. Chuckling at me, it knows I’m held in its sway, unable to retaliate.

Where did this thing come from? I searched my room before the darkness came, and I made certain my door was locked. It was not here then, I’m sure of it.

It wants me to come to the corner, but I’m too wise for that. I’m staying where I’m at. I have no wish to be side-swiped in the dark, knocked to the floor and set upon by this heinous creature.

But wait! Behind the sheet rock. They’re back, just as they were last night.
