Staring Down the Shadows

I remember what's out there.
And I don't like it.
I don't like it one bit.

You won't catch me going out there again.
Not into the darkness.
Not in this town.
Not with that creature lurking about;
Searching for souls;
Wanting for blood.

I'll be in here.
Next to the light;
Secure in its glow.
Buying time.
Savoring the calm.
Reading the maps.
Searching for another way out.

I'll let you know when I find it.
I'll let you know when it's safe to come home.
