&lrm;&quot;We live in a universe in which there are laws, just as there is a law of gravity. If you fall off a building it doesn&#039;t matter if you&#039;re a good person or a bad person, you&#039;re going to hit the ground.&quot;<br /> - Mickael Bernard Beckwith

Don't turn away from the light.
It eats you,
Pushes you,
Farther and farther until
You can't speak.
You can't hear.
All you can do is see.

See the monsters,
Closer and closer.
Their claws pulling you
Near.
Wishing for your flesh,
Your soul.
Your life.
You.
Don't turn away from the dark.
