shadows.

it was so dark, so quiet, so scary.

i was afraid, i don't know why, because this was still a place i knew; but i was. maybe the unknown troubled me, what lies in the darkness, what you can't see.

but then, my eyes got used to the lack of light and i started to see things, recognize them in the shadows, everything was where I had left it, and it felt safe again. but mostly, mostly i could see your face's outline and that confirmed that you were still here – so everything was alright.

and there was no reason to be afraid.
