No One But the Shadows

My eyes widened, a scream escaping me as I dashed away from the shadows around me. But there was no escape from the shadows here. They were everywhere, always grabbing always moaning. I whimpered as they grabbed at me, charging forward with a newfound energy as adrenaline rushed through my veins.

The moans of the people around me pounded in my ears, their constant mantra slowly being hammered into my head, until I was shouting it out. But they were the only ones to hear me. I searched desperately for someone, anyone. I didn’t care anymore, I would go mad if I didn’t find another person, see another person, hear another person! Anyone besides these wretched shadows!

But they were the only ones.
