In the Darkness by poetwatch The Dark writing prompt entry |
In the dead of the night demonic wraiths await those who sleep. They come to see and live by slithering into their dreams. There is nothing you can do for in sleep there's a dream for everyone.
The Trickster, the Cutter, and the Madman all seem interested in you this night. They smile in devilish delight, sleep is coming, for darkness is their friend. You turn off the lights and darkness enshrouds the room. You're a shadow as you get in bed. The light in your window begins to fade... "He is mine," the Trickster says. As he moves in to take control a knife whistles by his ear, he turns to see the Cutter smile. "Hold it a mite, mate, we want a slice too." A crazy laugh comes from the Madman. The Trickster spreads his lips in a distorted smile. He knows he is no match for these two demons. "What do you suggest?" They just laugh. You sleep the sleep of the dead, not knowing three demons have taken control. You awake in your dream and it is dark. You're still in bed and try to get up, only to bump your head. You move to a side and there is a wall, you try the other side, it is the same. Terror takes hold as you hear an insane laugh within the darkness. You trace the walls around you and yell your lungs out, no one hears you in the darkness and you cry. You cannot breathe. "Where am I? What is happening?" Questions and no answers. You feel knives slowing slicing your body and you scream. Then, that crazy laugh is joined by two others. There is nowhere to go, you cannot move. You're trapped in a box of endless darkness, but you are not alone.
