Nightmare

Dark shapes twist and crawl in the corners of my mind. Silent whispers fill the air, cold and choking. A breath catches, then slips away as I reach for the light that’s too far to touch. Eyes watch from the depths of the void. I can’t move, can’t scream. I'm trapped inside the suffocating storm of my own fear, lost in a place where shadows never leave and hope fades to dark.
