Darkness - Day 1
Darkness.
Darkness is such an interesting phenomenon. By definition, it is the absence of light. To many, it isolates, it chills, it reduces. To many, it is a place to avoid, to remove, to destroy.
But not to me. I love the darkness. It holds for me the feelings that light chases away. Feelings I like, such as awareness, aloneness, and power. Those who love the darkness have power over those who fear it.
And right now, I am very powerful.
“Johnny?”
A disturbance. A rock in the middle of my still pond. Waves begin to rock my spiritual boat
“Johnny, time for supper!!!”
“Okay, Mom. Just a sec.”
Even though I knew it was coming, the light at the top of the stairs startled me. Its power drove away my tranquility, allowing the monsters of the light to return.
Each stair I climbed moved me farther from where I wanted to be, deeper into their world.
“There you are, silly boy. Why do you spend so much time down in that basement?”
Silly boy indeed. Soon she would find out just how silly I was.
