A call in the dark
In the deepest depths,
the darkest cavern,
the blackest wall,
I stand.
I stand for minutes, hours, days, even years.
I know not of the time passed or to be.
Yet I know time indeed, passing, ticking, waiting.
First comes a small whisper,
"Hello?"
With no answer beyond an echo,
fear,
distress,
loneliness.
Second comes a grand yell,
"Anyone there?"
This time a rumble,
echos loud.
Soon silence, and then, none.
Something is breathing near,
It's heart beating to a roar,
gnashing its teeth.
Long moments pass,
in the dark,
in the dread,
in the phobia.
It continues to beat,
to breathe near,
and teeth chatter.
I sit, resting head on knee.
The teeth stop,
the breathing slows,
the heart never stops.
realization comes before the call,
"Am I really all alone?"

So yeah, Hello, I am ECC your newest member here, but I assume that no one is actually here considering the last time stamp aside from my own is dated sometime in 2012. If someone is there, go ahead and speak. If I am alone as I feel I am, c'est la vie, this text will not be seen for months to come. I suppose I will post around a bit testing the water.
