My Darkness-flash fiction

The darkness consumes me, grabbing me and pulling me further into the pits of despair.

I’m trying to claw my way out of this hole, but the darkness never lets me get very far before pulling me back in.

Fires are burning around me, making me feel like a caged animal.

I see creatures with glowing red eyes standing at the edges of the flames.

These creatures seem to be getting closer as the fires dim down some.

It feels as if they will close in on me at any moment, and I don’t know how to make them stop.

Fear courses through my veins as I feel overwhelmed by all of this.

The creatures get past the fires, grab me and start ripping me apart.

I close my eyes and try to make all of this stop, but when I open them, nothing has changed.

Tears fall out of my eyes as I realize this is my life now.

My sins are finally catching up to me and have pulled me into the depths of hell.
