Hello, is anyone there? I’m alone and I’m scared. When my feet are out of view I can’t help but picture darkness surrounding them. I say darkness because, in truth, I don’t know what it is I’m scared of. I just know it’s out there. I just know it’s coming.
Hello, is anyone there? I can hardly move now. It’s all I can do to keep talking. If you’re out there, I could really use some help. A friend would be nice right about now.
Hello, is anyone there? If you are, please respond as quickly as possible. I keep hearing and seeing things. Where I am it is very, very dark, and I can’t help but picture hands reaching for me, clawing at me.
Hello, is anyone there? I mustered a little courage and I moved. Now I’m sweating but I refuse to move again. I need someone to talk to, even though I know no one’s there. If I keep talking, maybe they won’t think I’m alone.
Hello, is anyone there? If you are, please don’t respond. I am past terrified, and if you say a word, if you break a twig, if I can hear you breathing, I know I will panic. I don’t know what will happen then, but it will be bad.
Hello, is anyone there? I can’t keep talking. Whatever it is hears me. It knows I’m afraid. I can feel it getting stronger. I‘m not afraid to die, but whatever this darkness is, I can’t help but be afraid of it.
Hello, is anyone there? Please, I changed my mind. If someone’s out there, say something now. I need you to tell me I’m not alone. It knows I’m alone. Maybe it will go away if I’m not. Please, help me. Help me, I’m about to scream. If I scream, bad things will happen. Please, please, PLEASE.
He-hello? Is anyone… there? I’m shaking but I’m as stiff as a board. I can feel the darkness.. Its touching the back... of my… neck… please.. Make it stop.. I can’t be brave anymore. I- I can feel the tears on my cheeks and I can feel the darkness and I can feel the fear… but.. But I… I can’t feel anything else. I can’t move please let me move- My throat is closing up- I- I’m gagging.
Hello.
