I really need to post something on here, and sense I have nothing much to say other than my family just grow by two new kittens, and I am starting Bible Collage this week, I thought I'd post a snippet of a story I have been turning around in my mind for awhile. I've been reluctant to write it though for several reasons, but the main one is that I have absolutely no experience in this kind of topic. The story is about a person who is terrified of the dark, one day there is an accident, and their eyes are damaged leaving them temporarily blinded. So here it is.
There is something about the dark that always scars people. The knowledge that the unknown is so close to them. That the darkness hides uncounted terrors that are waiting for you to shout you eyes. It is a childish fear, one that should not bother an adult. I keep telling my self that, but it does not help, nothing helps. It is called Nyctophobia, and they tell me that it is triggered by "the brain’s disfigured perception of what would or could happen when in a dark environment". That knowledge did not make it anything easier though when I had my accident
Yesterday there was accident at gas station that resulted in a explosion. I was too close and some how the light or the heat or something burned my eyes. Now I'm trapped. Not in a single room or building, but behind my own eyes. That explosion burned the retina of my eyes and now I'm blind. The doctors say it is temporary, that they will heal in a few months, but how can I survive those few months? Blackness is all around me now and there is nothing I can do to get away from it. I'm trapped. Forced by the bandages around my head to carry the blackness that I hate around with me.
I never thought of it till just know, but how could this person be writing this when their blind? That does not really matter right now though, I'm more worried about making it sound believable. What do you think? Is it too stiff, and calm? Anyone out there really scared of the dark, because I personally am not and it would be nice to get some feed back from someone who really is. Hope you all enjoyed it short as it was.
Have a blessed day
