Nightfalls

By Gray Vision

Night is coming
And the animals are calling,
The skies are darkening
And I start trembling,
Light is fading,
And I start panicking,
With every step
The leaves start rustling,
With every step
I can hear them creeping,
And growling and howling
The fear starts seeping,
Red eyes glimmering
Couldn't help but start praying,
After some time
I could hear them retreating,
Overwhelmed and confused
Here I stayed seated,
Waiting and craving
For morning,
To awaken.

    Very vivid write my friend, this really exhibits the true power of fear. How it breaks down every mental safeguard, and opens the floodgates to a nightmare world you would've never known existed beforehand, well done. Scholar
