Darkness lay before me. Creepiness crawling up and down my spine as I continue my journey. What was I thinking being out here alone? Not thinking is more like it. What was that noise? A twig breaking? Just some animal scurrying in the woods I keep telling myself. I keep going as I start to shiver a bit more. Just a little longer to go. A bit farther and I will be with you again.

I travel in silence for maybe another 30 minutes and the I see it. Something peering out of the darkness up ahead. I stop. Oh god, oh god, what should I do? I don’t have anything to use as a weapon. My legs won’t move, either forward or away. I’m frozen. I look up ahead again. Oh no, is it closer? Please no. No no no. I close my eyes and will it away. I know it won’t work but I can hope.

Feeling a breeze brush past me I open my eyes and look around. Nothing. Nothing but the darkness that surrounds me. The cold darkness with all it’s hidden mysteries. And a voice that says Don’t be afraid, I am always with you. And then I pass out.

Hope everyone is enjoying the scares and fun times of the season. Be well all.
