When The Darkness Falls Novels & Stories

My thoughts slow, my mind growing heavy, as if the darkness is pulling me under, dragging me down into its depths. And then, just as suddenly as it began, the fall stops.

Like a blanket, soft and warm, wrapping me in its embrace.

"Light always needs a source of energy, darkness does not need a source of energy. Therefore, darkness will always beat the light. One day when light disappears the darkness will prevail." --Smash Hits MELODY POV "What role will I play in taking down the bad boy trafficker?"

We watched in silence as the tiny stone fractured the surface of the water, creating big waves as it skated on the moonlit surface before settling with a tiny pop. The blackness under the sparkling surface swallowed it whole without mercy, stealing it from our sight and dragging it to the world of the unknown that lay beneath the pitch blackness. The waves

“It's not like that. It's not something you can get rid of. It's part of me; it's my other half. It's who and what I am. Don’t you see, I am the darkness! To get rid of it would be to get rid of me. I'm no good for you. I will only cause you pain and suffering. I am the darkness! I'm the monster everyone's afraid of. I'm the beast in the dark that children have nightmares of. I am the evil from the depths of hell and will only snuff out your light, little angel. You and I can never be together!” He said with a deep and rough voice.

× Dixie × When I fall unconscious, I don’t just fall into the dark abyss of sleep; I fall into a different world as well. At first, I see myself in a world filled with darkness. Nothing but color black. Slowly, the darkness fades, starting from the sky.

We became a force of nature, an embodiment of hope. With one final, decisive blow, we struck at the heart of the darkness, shattering its hold on our world.

I stepped closer to my pillar and read the words aloud: "In the heart of darkness, light must shine, But alone, its glow will fade with time. By shadow’s grace, the light is freed, Together, they are one in need." Evelina joined me, reading the rest of the inscription on her side: "Through dusk and dawn, they dance as one, For without the dark, the light is undone. When both are present, the truth is clear, Together they guide, without fear." She met my eyes, understanding lighting up in her expression. "It’s a test of balance—light and dark. Both need to work in unity to move forward."

The vibrant celebration in the village square drew to a close as dusk descended, and the stars began to twinkle overhead. The lanterns that had illuminated the festivities were now replaced by the soft glow of moonlight, casting an ethereal aura over the village. Cassia's family, along with their fellow villagers, gradually made their way back to their homes, laughter and conversations still filling the air. James, the stern but diligent father, led the way with a sense of purpose, while Isabelle, the gentle and kind-hearted mother, walked beside him. Their children, Cassia and Alex, followed, their steps filled with the contentment of a day well spent.

Good luck Dalton. I've seen darkness before, the kind that makes our street like an old fashioned photograph, everything a shade of grey. This isn't like that. This is the darkness that robs you of your best sense and replaces it with a paralysing fear. In this darkness I sit, muscles cramped and unable to move. I only know my eyes are still there because I can feel myself blink, still instinctively moisturizing the organs I have no current use for. I can't hear anything either. I guess that should bring my heart rate down below the level of “rabbit in a snare” but it doesn't. By my genes I am a predator, I have the front facing eyes and brain enough to hunt, but I feel like prey in this utt

"My grandmother told me from childhood that there is a terrible evil lurking in the dark, so I should beware of the darkness... So I have always been afraid of the dark. I always came home before dusk and asked my mother not to turn off the light in my room. Then she would light a candle for me and put it on the bedside table next to my bed to save electricity. I stared at that flame and felt safe, as if some invisible force hidden within that flame was watching over me, protecting from all evil. However, the darkness caught me then in my dreams, it lurked, hiding in its depths overgrown creatures with huge teeth, long claws and wild eyesight. Chased by these terrible creations of my childho

I slowly drifted from the apartment to a small dark room. "It's all your fault!" a voice said. "I died because of you!" the voice accused. My heart began to ache as I recognized the voice, "Scott? Is that you." "Shut up!" the voice snapped, moments later I was dragged by my hair and tossed into the flames. "Scott, Scott please," I begged as I tried to stand up, "Please Scott, don't do this." A liquid was poured over me which ignited the fire, and soon I started to burn while his menacing laughter filled the room. His face flashed in front of me, burnt. I let out a piercing scream as the flames began to consume me.
