《Bound in the Dark》Rearing Itself - Chapter 3
Advertisement
Shadows POV:
Again I lay awake at night listening to this sound of nothing and it really is the worst time to be awake because whenever I'm awake like this, whenever there's this awkward silence, there's also the unbearable voice that comes with it.
"Come on boy I think it's about time you just give in to this, you're only making it harder for yourself. Let it happen, let me in and take what humanity you have left."
"Don't you ever get tired of bothering me at night like this brain, why do I have to hear my own thoughts telling me to let go? Of what! I have nothing."
I continue to think to myself all while this voice keeps jabbering on saying the same thing: "Let me in, let me in, LET ME IN, LET ME IN!"
"Leave me alone! You're just some bad thoughts I have in my head when I'm sad.!"
It replies laughing:"Boy I am not your thoughts I am you...or the better part OF you."
It goes on and on throughout the entire night and I get no sleep. At least this gives me time to think, well think just a tiny bit, what with all this noise in my head.
So this brings the question to me, yesterday when that mysterious traveler showed up and took Illume away what could have happened with the two of them alone and why would they want to isolate Illume.
Right then the Void answers:"I know the answer to that question boy."
"Shut up"
"..."
Huh? No answer? That's weird usually it would've said something back. Can't think about myself right now though.
Why do I feel like something bad is about to happen in this town and what's up with this unnerving feeling that I can't shake.

A Journey in Darkness
A Journey in Darkness is the story of a human girl who finds herself displaced far, far away from home, in a new world filled with wonders to discover and perils to overcome in her very own way. Waking up in a cave in her pajamas will only be the start of her problems. Will she find a way out? Maybe. Will she get eaten while searching for it? Probably. Is she going to be quite unhappy with the menu offered? Absolutely. Hello! I’m Mr. White and this is my first story. I hope you will like it! In this tale you won’t find a powerful main character conquering the new evil world with only the power of his tortured soul. What you will find is a normal person growing and finding her way despite the hardships she encounters in a world that is not so black and white. I will be posting every Tuesday and Friday and I’ll try to keep as large a backlog as possible. English is not my first language so I hope you will inform me if you find any mistake in the chapters.
