When You Gaze Into The Abyss Novels & Stories

Everyone knows the saying, "When you stare into the Abyss, The Abyss Stares Back." Many know about phenomena about Black Magic, Hauntings, Disappearances that have a Chill to it and if you search into it something sinister follows you. My Question is, What is THE ABYSS? Is it another Dimension of Horrors? Or a Realm of Mystery that intersects ours on a regular basis? Or is it a Life Form of many Forms who is trapped in an In-Between State or was Banished from Our Realm because it didn't want to co-exist with new life and just wanted to eat and destroy and feed off of Fear?

His cold eyes remained, yet his lips slowly curved into a devilish smirk. Let's see if you can still say those words at our next meeting, Vestian. "Whoever fights with monster should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster and if you gaze long enough into an abyss, the abyss also gazes into you," Celestin stated a quote out of the blue. "Remember my favorite quote I used to tell you, father?" "What the heck are you talking about, you futile child?"

Draven moved through the chaos like a blade through silk. The outer nexus chamber had become a maelstrom of light and violence. Golden Aether from the fracturing core column bled into the air in slow, catastrophic ribbons, casting everything in shifting hues that turned blood black and smoke violet.

He felt as though he's staring right into his soul and all he could see was pitch black; if Andy could fall into the abyss of his father's soul, he'll keep on falling forever without reaching the bottom of it. As Andy stood there, staring into his father's eyes, he felt as though he was falling into a dark and endless abyss. The longer he looked, the deeper he fell, and the colder he felt. It was as if he was being swallowed up by the darkness, and he couldn't find his way out — Andy was quick to snap out of his thought.

Let me tell you it never felt more true then at this very moment. Forcing my eyes open with the bit of energy I have left, while the most awful pain I have ever felt rage through my being, feeling awfully similar to when a thousand horses tap dance on one's soul, my eyes adjust to the environment and I see a white BMW speeding away from the scene. After that my eyes began to droop shut. The fear of being left out to die slowly crept into my thoughts. The mixture of cold, excruciating pain and fear was finally enough for the darkness to swallow me like a midnight snack.

I am dropping into an abyss of darkness, freefalling into a pit of despair. They say that your life flashes before your eyes when you stare death into the eyes…well, that is BULLSHIT. The only thing flashing in front of these eyes is the fury that I am feeling as a fire sets course from my core to every corner of my body.

Not that she had a worldview to begin with. "Jasper, what you’re doing is not right..." Summer was nibbled by Jasper. "You will fall into the abyss with me." Jasper did not think so and continued his most important task at hand. Summer’s mind went a little blank as she frowned slightly and said, "Have you ever heard a saying, ‘When you gaze too long into the abyss, the abyss gazes back at you’?" "Yep, I am the abyss, you can only look at me now!" Jasper was a little angry. "Can you concentrate a little more on what we’re doing?"

The Abyss was no longer a distant threat; it was our next destination. The journey to the Abyss was unlike anything I had ever experienced. The shard guided us, its light cutting through the oppressive darkness. The world around us seemed to blur and twist, as if reality itself was unraveling. Finally, we reached the threshold—a jagged chasm that seemed to stretch infinitely into the void. The air was heavy with the scent of sulfur and the sound of whispers, faint and insidious. “This is it,” I said, gripping the shard tightly. Kaela drew her daggers, her expression grim. “No turning back now.”

That was until he fell into the abyss and never re-surfaced. I still saw him now and then, down the high street sometimes, wearing layers of dirt-encrusted clothes to shield him from the cold, fingertips chewed right down to the bone. He lives in that abyss every single day and all that's left of him is a trail of bloodied fingerprints and soundless words coming from constantly-moving lips. And now, this was it. This was my abyss. The biggest fucking comedown I'd ever had. Like staring into the deepest chasm and knowing that once down there, I'd never be coming back out again.

With a gentle hand, she begins to caress my brow. "Shhhhh," She soothes me. "Help is coming. Just hold onto me." I try to squeeze her hand back, but I have no strength. Her face begins to blur. "Abigail?" Her voice seems far away like she's yelling at me underwater. Blackness begins to creep its way across the room. I blink my eyes, trying to wipe the black spots away, but they only grow. Then, they swallow Abigail whole.
