Hello Darkness

Darkness is a journey and a destination, it is the madness inside the soul fighting for control and it is the dark at the bottom of the stairs. Some seek darkness like moths drawn to the flame and some are captured by the darkness, caught unaware.. Contained herein are twenty-five stores, some about the seeker and some about the sought. Sometimes, but rarely, humor and happiness are revealed once darkness is confronted, but most often darkness hides terrors from within or perils from the malicious menaces lurking in the shadows. Most people cringe in silence when darkness calls their name, but where's the fun in that. The brave have but one answer when darkness calls, they say, "Hello, Darkness."
