Author's Note: Tried to do a drabble but got a little too wordy. I'm pretty happy with it but please be nice. This is my first time writing a fic in this style and my poetry game was never the strongest...


Rainwater pounds the window. Wind howls through the air. A house stands, cold, dark, empty. He lies awake, alone with his thoughts and fear.

Because it's her fists pounding on the window. Her voice howling in the wind. She lurks within every shadow. Behind every door.

A creaking sound. The rain pounds harder. The wind howls louder. She's invisible. He feels every step she takes.

She stops. All is still. A hand touches his forehead, cool and lifeless. He is lifeless too. He can't breathe…

Air! He dives for the light. It fills the room. He's safe for now.

But not even the brightest light can save the darkest hearts.
