Emerald Shots

by Shin Maxwell

Little one-shots and drabbles based on themes, via more than one 100 "theme" challenge. The length of each chapter will vary depending on what I think of in regards to the theme :) rated T for now, but this will likely become M soon! will feature Nick/OC moments, so beware if you don't like such things! Updated Daily if I'm able to do so, sometimes with multiple parts!

4. Dark

Authors note: Same disclaimer as always...in case you missed it, only Crystal is mine, and everything else belongs to valve :) Enjoy!

Theme 4: Dark

You would think a grown woman like herself wouldn't be afraid of the dark, but a world ravaged by a deadly infection, Crystal also felt there were worse things to be afraid of. The only reason she was now is because with the way the world was, anything could be just waiting in the darkness for attack a person not prepared or not paying attention. Such events occurred in her home city when the infection started, and she had nightmares about it now and then. Thankfully, she had to friends she now did, making her fear of the dark a bit more bearable.

End of theme!

Yup..another short one :)
