Any distance walked in complete darkness feels longer.
Have you noticed?
It's like you're walking through smog, blinded and fatigued.
When did you get so tired?
The streetlights provide little comfort, their orange glow is dim and useless.
Was that house always there?
Everything looks dramatically different at night.
Why is there a dead end where your street should be?
Taking wrong turn is all too easy at night.
But the street sign is still there and all the numbers are piled on the floor beneath it.
All except yours.
Yours is on the wall,painted in what looks to be blood.
It might be just paint, it might not even be red but the dark obscures it.
Still it seems like the numbers are growing.
They are coming closer and warping as they gradually form a door.
You see your home right there but no matter how fast you run it's always furter away.
Any distance walked in complete darkness feels longer.
Have you noticed?
