In the Far Off Corners

In the far off corners where the light does not quite reach, dark scales of gray enable 
the subconscious to journey into unbelievable dimensions.

A high-pitched tone of pure silence grows insanely loud; acid covers the palette as 
phobia of loneliness suffocates.

Tunneled vision from the corner of the eye, witnesses’ unexplained movements, the room 
manifests a chill while the mind scurries for a logical explanation to calm to nerves.

With pounding fear, courage of sanity allows that deep breath to be taken, enabling the 
head to turn towards the movements.

Surprisingly, there are only the dark gray scales, where the light does not quite reach 
in the far off corners.
