Author's Note: I'm not necessarily pleased with this, but my beta convinced me to upload it and see what everyone else thought.
The quote is from a blog that I was reading. I really love the line and I felt like I needed to write something for it. Maybe I'll try something else later.
Disclaimer: I own not the suggested character of this snippet. Sadly.
Light is invasive, it is far more unforgiving than the Darkness.
Darkness is full of could-be, Light is filled with is.
~Dreamtime Drinne
Why are you scared of the Dark?
Why do you cower at night?
Why cover your head with those blankets? They don't protect you from the Dark. They don't need to protect you.
Don't you know that Dark is better than Light?
The Light shows you everything.
Every truth.
Every lie.
It shines on your life, highlighting the horrifying death of your mother. Your sister. In the Light, you can see that your father is never by your side; I wonder if he cares anymore.
It illuminates the cuts, the bruises. The Light reminds you of how they got there and you feel sorry.
Is that what you want? Sorrow?
Who do you feel sorry for? Is it for yourself?
Or is it for my victims?
You hate remembering what I do at night. You hate knowing that somewhere out there, someone is dying and it's your face they see. Because I always do it in the Light. I always show them your face. My face. Our face.
Don't you see how cruel it is, the Light? Don't you just hate it? Don't you realize just how sweet the Dark is?
In the Dark, there are possibilities. Don't you know that the Dark is only filled with what could be?
Your family could be sitting on the edge of your bed. The Dark is merely covering their presence. Just because you can't see them, doesn't mean they aren't there.
There could be a killer on the other side of the room.
At the same time, perhaps there isn't.
You can't see in the Dark.
But, just remember …
You can't be seen in the Dark. In the Dark, you could be a braver person, a stronger person, someone who fights back. The person who might be in the room with you doesn't know, because they can't see you, just as you can't see them.
So come sit with me. Come be with me in the dark corner of your soul, in the dark room, away from the terrifying Light.
Because don't you know? The Dark is kinder, safer, better than the Light.
A/N: ((stabs)) This may or may not be taken down later. Tell me what you think. Please don't be brutal to me; I'm a delicate soul T_T
