Sometimes I wish, when I’m alone in the dark…
I think I hear voices, calling to me from the blackness. Promising me all that I could ever need, all that I could ever want, if I would only move beyond the threshold and step out into the freedom of open sky. I would go, unlock my fear-stiffened limbs and do as they ask, if I was truly certain the voices only came from within my mind.
Alone in the dark… I wish I was…

Scary, but good!
You certainly know how to take the reader right into your inner thoughts with vivid descriptions. Well done! Thanks for your comments too! Ciao…
now that’s a spherical tale if ever there was one Damian! starting and ending in the same place…your mind…your imagination…and knowing you can take your ‘self’ as far as you want to out of it and back into it…..because the power to propel it is the power that anchors it / you….
a beautifully articulated balance of – freedom and security…each containing its opposite…
i love the thoughts this has provoked for me…great stuff!
