Standing on top of the hill, watching the city lights twinkle below.
One by one, the lights start to disappear. Giant patches of dark spread out below me.
The lone patches of light are dwarfed by the darkness, and only emphasise the nothingness.
Shadows appear around me. Voices are hushed, awed by the velvet night.
**It's been ages, and it's a day late, but I got there.**

I love darkness when there are lights to be seen, at least in the distance.
I don't think I've ever been in *total* darkness. I believe that would frighten me.
Great Flash55!
Awesome.
Nice! :-)
