No light, but rather darkness visible.
-John Milton

Your mission in this first of a four-week long competition is to write a maximum of 2500 words for the theme DARKNESS.

Shall you tell of a bleak landscape, a room full of shadows,  or a lightless soul?  What ideas spark when pondering the black? Write what you must!
