Potential

Creature Poem

Coursing the void while stinking of fear. It can feel me.....and seems to know me.

I first catch a glimpse, formed behind the gloom. It too, watches me.

The shimmer and outline seem to have no boundries. Whisps of light mingle with those of shadow.

From behind the gloom it emerges. The uncontained shape begins to pull inward, it starts to advance.

The weight of the mental hold this being has on me is crushing.  Every fear I have ever known is brought to bear.

Every secret set to surface.

Nowhere to escape. Nowhere to flee I cry out, "WHAT ARE YOU!?"

It phases through the remaining gap to face me.

I now stare into the reflection of my own visage!

"You!' it replies.

We are all creatures.....some are just given more potential.
