The Darkness MAMA scared stiff entryby ~NeonStraightJacket

Contests / 2012 / MAMA Scared Stiff

So this is my entry for the MAMA scared stiff contest. I have seen so many amazing entries so far. Honestly it was very intimidating I almost didn't submit an entry because mine looked like it was from a children’s book (which now I see is actually a good quality for this specific contest). Then I remembered something that my mother had told me. She told me not to compare my abilities to anyone else. I have my own skills and they I shouldn’t compare them to that of someone else’s because I will only bring myself down. Wise words. . I was really scared of the dark as a kid. I would always see the oddest and scariest things in the dark mostly due to the wild imagination I had as a kid. Well this is my entry along with a story enjoy and wish me luck in the contest.

The Darkness:

When I was a little girl I was terrified of the dark. I still do not know if it was my imagination or some thing that crawled its way into my mind while I was asleep. What scared me the most was the unknown quality that the darkness possessed. It seemed like every night my room would be engulfed by mist-like shadows. I tightly held onto my teddy bear burying myself deep into my blankets thinking, hoping that they had some sort of magical powers that would protect me from the creatures, the monsters that lurked in darkest corners of my bedroom. I closed my eyes shut and I dared not open them again for my imagination would only feed my fear giving it a form of its very own. Regrettably, out of curiosity I opened my eyes and came face to face with what appeared to be an almost human looking creature, a dark fog surrounding it. Many eyes emerged from the fog glaring down at me as if knowing the horrid fate that awaited me. The creature wanted nothing more than for me to fall into a state of sleep that would leave me vulnerable so it may feed on my dreams, my fears, my very being. “Good night little girl,” the monster grinned with the most gruesome smile I had ever seen. After those words my room was swallowed by pitch black darkness, silencing my screams for help for someone to save me but no help ever came. No help would ever come.
