The Dark
It is estimated that at any given moment, somewhere between 5 and 10 percent of what is in your field of sight is shadow. Darkness. Isolation. The Unknown.
Imagine how it would be to live in these stagnated, dreary parts? In that crevice between the bookshelf and the wall, that gap between the wardrobe and the floor. To live surrounded by a crushing, overwhelming sense of darkness and nothingness. To know that that is your place, and always will be. To be left alone, unable to escape, no companionship but your blackest thoughts. Would the darkness consume you? Or would you search for a way out? To somehow live in the brightness?
No wonder, when I lie in bed awake at night, the house begins to creek and starts to come to life. No wonder, that in this dark time, I feel the presence of eyes, scouring over me. No wonder, we hear so many stories of those who die in their sleep. For in this time, the Unknown rules over all. And I don’t think the light of your monitor is enough to keep away the thing that just moved by your right foot.

I love this! 10/10 for the story! 10/10 for this picture as well!
I liked the way this was executed, which is often a deciding factor whether or not I like a pasta. Personally, I don’t always have to get scared, I just have to get that “Oh, that’s a cool idea” feeling. Would nomnom again.
Joke’s on you I don’t have a right foot! Ha!
You could have done this better. Your writing shows that you have style and skill. But, I guess it’s good for a quickie.
Oh God, something DID just move by my right foot…oh wait….that was my left foot…wait….I’m an amputee, wait….I don’t have any feet…whose feet are those??? oh, my niece is laying next to me asleep. Wait…I don’t have a….this….isn’t going anywhere….
had I been reading this at night in the dark, I would have hesitated before looking at my right foot. But I still would have looked. Matter of fact… yeah alls clear.
