Flicker In The Dark Novels & Stories

Outside, a faint buzzing sound drifted through the open windows. It was soft. Almost harmless. But it was t here. We both looked up at the same time. The buzzing grew louder. Not dramatic. Not explosive. Just close. Very close. And then the lights flickered. Just once. And went out.

He can't wait for the right time. "Mr Ryan hurries up! You are so slow," Emily chuckles and said. Ryan ignored her and passing his time like that.

But as I tear them away to see what the new threat could be, the ice-blue lightning vanishes to leave orange afterimages dancing over my retinas. As the images die, I look up to the source of the lightning. Click! The camera light flickers. It flickers again, then winks out. And the darkness is complete. Darkness falls.

If curiosity killed the cat, then I was about to sprout whiskers. My body turned towards the open door. Before I knew it, I was standing looking into the room with the glowing ember. The smell of charcoal lingered in the air. The florescent lighting lit only the door's entrance. Beyond it, the room was dark except for the red eye. I hesitated. Stepping into the shadow on the floor felt like a choice. My heart thudded. My vertigo swirled at the edges of dark and light. I focused on the red glow swimming in my vision.

It was as if he had conjured up the dark side of her character and it was insidiously taking her over. Her skin heated, disturbing recollections of an hour past filling her conscious mind, and so real were those images that Lara could feel the touch of his hands on her flesh, feel the hot, hungry onslaught of his mouth on hers. With a trembling hand, Lara poured herself another coffee, mortified by her own lack of mental discipline. It was time she got herself back under control... but just how easy was that going to be with him calling all the shots? Perspiration dampened her eyebrow.

Ina. Fluorescent lights above appeared to quiver, or not quiver, out of the need for a vision spinning on the tip of grasp—Lily's eyes darting too quickly as memories liked to creep into them and swallow her whole. "She no longer drops by—she stays here," she breathed. Dr. Anselm nodded, calm. "Are there flashbacks?" Lily exhaled. It was not a laugh, not quite. More the sound that had forgotten how to remember joy.

The seal-like mark on her palm was still faintly glowing. FLICKER! Suddenly, the lights in the room began to flicker again. It was terrifying for those in the room, especially the fish tanks containing the grotesque half-human, half-aquatic test subjects. The sight was always revolting. The temperature started to drop, and they began to shiver. The shadows of the strange creatures became more distorted and terrifying in this situation. FLICKER! BANG! All the lights went out. The room was so dark they couldn't see anything. Then, a large gust of wind seemed to sweep past them, making them stagger.

A fresh wave of pain explodes behind my eyes. “Please… not here,” I whisper. But it’s too late. The lights flicker in and out. The walls close in. The beakers warp and stretch like glass ghosts. Everything tilts. And then darkness crashes down like a wave.

The flickering light expanded, enveloping the creature in a radiant glow. The darkness around us began to recede, and the lake’s waters started to clear. The creature thrashed and wailed, its power waning. “We’re doing it!” Celina exclaimed, her voice filled with triumph. But the creature was not defeated yet. It let out a final howl of rage, summoning a surge of dark energy. “Stay strong!” I called out, bracing myself against the onslaught. As the darkness closed in, the flickering light seemed to pulse with renewed vigor. It was as if the light itself was fighting back, pushing back against the encroaching darkness.

“No harm done. They’re just overexcited.” But the whispers clung, sharp and suspicious. And then Daisy chose that moment to pout. Her doll tumbled from her hands, and her little mouth twisted, eyes welling. But instead of tears, golden light shimmered—faint but real, flickering through her irises like trapped fire. A woman behind me gasped. “Did her eyes—” “Lights!” I cut in too loud, too sharp. I scooped Daisy up, spinning toward the gym ceiling. “See? Fluorescents always flicker in here. Gives you that weird glow sometimes.”
