The darkness looms throughout the night, enveloping every corner and nook of the surrounding. There is no hope for light to pass through and the only consolation in that deserted place is the belief that His divine guidance will lead her to an escape amidst the mystifying conundrum of fears. Everything is silent as though each living and non-living creature in that dilapidated place listens to the beating of her heart, waiting for something to occur. Wary and weary, she cowered where she fell, and there she remained motionless for a matter of time. She wasn’t alone, that she is certain about. There is someone behind the frames, or probably behind the walls, waiting to hear the sobbing of a hopeless or probably the howling of the desperate, but none of those happened. The darkness seemed a lifetime cause even when her eyes are closed the very same gloominess would confront and test her strength.

The night has passed and the sun began to shower its rays on earth; it is the moment she has been waiting for. Slowly she opened her eyes, and saw the deplorable condition she is in. Pity, she should have felt that in her heart like how she would always feel whenever she would find someone in that similar condition. But no, she stood right where she stumbled and managed to take a step, then another, and still another. She struggled to get into the door until she is finally out of her contemptible state.

Life, it went on and the fear was set aside.

But it constantly haunts her at days when darkness looms and the silence is deafening at night.
