Fear
She cries herself to sleep every night when the lights go out, hiding all her pain from the world except from him. He is the one that controls her, holds her, and helps her....for a price. The price her shattered heart pays to keep those horrid thoughts from her mind and the suffering just for a day is her life. Little by little, as he tells her it shall all be ok, he slowly and painfully sucks her life force away, killing her, breaking her spirit even farther and no one can see it. No one sees him wispering in her ear or hear his voice telling her exactly what to do.
In the dead of night, as he holds her, his words are always the same right before she finally falls asleep. "It's time that I go," and with that he sends her to that dreaded middle hallway shes frightened of the most full of unwanted memories and nightmares. Soon the doors burst open and arms of many dark creatures reach out for her; trying to bring her in. Her running is futile. There is no escape. So every night she is dragged inside one of those doors having no control of what happens.
In her dreams the creatures appear in front of her. They immobilize her as they walk closer reaching and reaching, killing her mercilessly over and over and over again. Run is all that goes through her mind; run away.
Now a question for all.....who is she?
She is I.
