Prequel 1: Visitors

Darkness
Is all is all I can see
My eyes closed as I struggle to sleep.
The sixteenth year of my birth is today
I hope I'm not any closer to my grave
After tossing around for awhile
I finally get comfortable.
I hope I can finally sleep.
Take me away from all the pain in this world
Bring me to my own fantasy.
As I lay there with my mind racing.
I start to hear a sound.
The hairs on my arms immediately rise into the night.
Fear grips me tight.
For I already know something is wrong.
The horrible sound gets louder.
Is it in my head?
The humming stays constant
Hovering over me.
I squeeze my eyelids as hard as I can.
I'm afraid to look, but I must know.
I take a few big breaths through my nose
Then the panic gets deeper.
Now I know fear.
My eyes,
my eyes,they will not open.
What am I going to do?
I've never been so scared
I must be sleeping.
Is this a night terror?
I try to focus.
I try to move my head.
Nothing
I try to move my arm
Nothing
I try to roll
Nothing.
I lose focus and can't handle this anymore.
I scream
I scream in horror
But it falls on deaf ears
And only in my head
For I can't even scream because my mouth is frozen too.
I lay there in hell
Bathed in the darkness
Am I asleep
Am I awake
Am I alive
Am I dead
That sound
That terrifying sound
My body in paralysis.
Maybe I'm just dreaming
Maybe this is just a nightmare.
Deep in the back of my head
I know I've felt this fear before.
Paranoia takes ahold of me
as my mind races.
I feel eyes staring
from mysterious faces.
It's all in my head
I yell in my brain.
All of this stress
It's starting to strain.
Then the thought hits me
What if I don't remember this in the morning?
I start to cry inside my mind
Not knowing what to expect next.
Hoping the panic will go away
Then I feel it


The tips of long skinny fingers.
Roll across my shoulder...

Author's Note

I need to fix all of the punctuations. I wasn't sure if I should add them or just not have them at the ends. It's poetic at times and not at other

That is so sad, but the feeling is very familiar. Only certain people can truly understand the darkness, but we're the ones that know how to appreciate the light. :)
