Darkness

As the sun began to set
many retreated to their homes
fearing the dark
but worshiping the light
Praying that their families be safe for the night, the flicked off the lights
Not realizing what terrors lay around every lane
As lights flicker off all around the town
The darkness sets in
cosuming all in its path
Showing no mercy
Then the little ones disappear from their beds
never to been seen again
