Darkness

Jessica had always been afraid of the dark. As a child, she would hide under the covers, convinced that monsters lurked in the shadows. But as she grew older, she learned to control her fear, or so she thought.

One night, as she was walking home from work, she took a shortcut through the park. It was a warm summer evening, and the moon was full, casting an eerie glow over the trees. But as she made her way through the park, she felt a sense of unease wash over her.

She quickened her pace, but the feeling only grew stronger. She could hear footsteps behind her, and she turned to see a figure lurking in the shadows.

Jessica tried to run, but her legs felt heavy, as though they were weighed down by an invisible force. She turned to face her attacker, but the figure was gone.

Shaken, she continued on her way, hoping to reach the safety of her apartment. But the feeling of being watched stayed with her, and she could hear whispering voices in the darkness.

As she entered her building, she breathed a sigh of relief. But when she stepped into the elevator, she realized that she was not alone. Standing in the corner was a woman in a white dress, her hair hanging over her face.

Jessica tried to ignore the woman, but she could feel her staring at her with unseeing eyes. The elevator stopped on her floor, and as the doors opened, the woman stepped forward.

Jessica stumbled backwards, tripping over her own feet, and as she fell, she saw the woman's face. It was a face of pure terror, twisted and distorted beyond recognition.

The woman reached out with bony fingers, and Jessica could feel her cold breath on her face. But as the woman drew closer, she suddenly vanished into thin air.

Jessica scrambled to her feet and ran to her apartment, locking the door behind her. She could still feel the woman's presence, and she knew that she was not alone in the darkness.

As the night wore on, the whispers grew louder, and the shadows began to move. Jessica knew that she had to face her fears if she wanted to survive.

With trembling hands, she reached for the light switch, but when she flicked it on, the room was plunged into darkness. She tried again, but the light would not come on.

The whispers grew louder, and Jessica could feel the woman's breath on her neck. She closed her eyes, waiting for the inevitable.

But then, a hand reached out from the darkness, grasping hers. It was warm and comforting, and it gave her the strength to face her fears.

Jessica opened her eyes, and the room was bathed in a warm, golden light. The woman was gone, and the whispers had faded away.

From that day on, Jessica was no longer afraid of the dark. She knew that the only way to overcome her fears was to confront them head-on. And though she could never explain what had happened that night, she knew that she had been given a second chance, a chance to live without fear.
