Lights flicker,
Ambient whispers,
Not a stir,
Not a head full of mangy hair whipping around to see what had disturbed its aching serenity.
Instead...
A pair of vacant oculus' stay glued to their pinpoint, hunched over at close proximity above an aged, velvet suede receptacle.
Those same anthracite hues hadn't made a spectacle when a nameless figure glided into the room, only mere inches away, leaving no room to breathe.
"Your agony, anguish, and suffering shalt be no more..."
Down, down the rabbit hole in which I dug,
Down, down the eerie hill in which I tumbled.
Dreamy, woven blankets of callow comfort dissipate into chasms of unforeseeable, drowning waves of onyx as the darkest entity shuts you out from the rest of the barren underworld.
What reason is there to keep me here?
I am of no use to you, I will merely waste your precious increments of time you bide yourself with...
Thine finds me intriguing? Alluring, captivating, might be preserved to naught see the light of day by the morrow?
No response, only tenebrous arms shielding you from your own horridly inquisitive mind.
Intricate words shaped his formless lips like liquid dripping off a pristine mold of glass,
"Haven't you heard, soldier boy? Weak light will forever fade to a sheen coat of oily black."
Did he mean that you were the light, and his parched kingdom represented the frightening tones of diluted black?
You were not aware of the petrifying evil this intelligent creature had possessed.
He said he would show you.
Be wary of the eyes.
