shadows
December 31, 2011
Stuck in the dark shadows, not being able to escape. I hug myself tightly trying to keep all the darkness away. It seems to not be working for I can still feel it, slithering into my soul, taking control. I open my mouth to scream, but my voice is being choked. I feel lost here in the deep mist, were I can’t see past myself. Taken over by a new wave of fear I try my best to hold on. It seems useless now as the darkness that was slowly creeping takes over my whole body my sole, and now I let myself fall in it not caring….

This is good. No joke! Your flow seems to run smoothly, and the way your words seemed to go together so well was great! I wasn't a huge fan as to how it was set up though.... maybe make lines instead of just one paragraph? I think it would look more professional and purely make it easier to read. Nice job though! Keep writing!
