Let me tell you the story of a girl who feared darkness more than anything on Earth.

She imagined it as a gruesome monster that would suck the life out of her , till she begged for a final breath

Though she had never met or saw darkness, her fear was fed by all the horrific stories

Stories about young girls and boys that dared to pay him a visit and returned to their homes as rotting bodies

Apparently, they had been mercilessly tortured in unimaginable ways and forced to be slaves of the dark

No matter how hard they tried to break free from the invisible chains of darkness, they were stuck

Compelled to endure all sorts of pain till their deafening screams became silent echoes

Their heart wrenching pleas for freedom were just in vain, because darkness had already killed and buried his conscience

It was believed that he feared nothing at all but the one thing that could shake him up was light’s presence

In the presence of light, he became a coward; a weak shadow. When light appeared, the heartless tyrant seemed to feel an emotion akin to sorrow

But the girl’s curiosity was slowly overpowering her fear, for she felt there had to be another side to this tale.

All the stories sounded incomplete, as if there was a crucial missing detail.

A part that was being intentionally left out, and thus a seed had been planted in her and that was the seed of doubt.

So, she finally summoned the courage to go look darkness in the eye and find out

When the darkness emerged, her eyes began shining brighter, her heart started to beat faster.

But what she felt was not fear, instead it was admiration for she had never seen anything better.

As darkness narrated all the stories from his perspective, they began to make sense

Now she finally knew which side to pick, she was done sitting on a fence.

Till date, the girl’ s whereabouts are unknown but it is believed that she has a new enemy – Light
