It was dark.
It was dark and it was raining. Dark, dark rain. I pulled my coat around me against the rain. The rain and the wind. It was windy as well. I had to get there. Get there, before I was too late. That strange message... was it a message? And that thousand year old inscription. A prophecy. Was I going mad? Soon I would find out. They'd warned me about her, but I had to know. Just had to know, you know? You know how it is, when it's dark, and raining, and windy, in the dark windy rain. A streetlamp went out above my head. Not below it, that wouldn't make any sense. Things have to make sense. I just had to make sense of it all. And so I carried on, through the wind and the rain. And the dark. Would I be too late? Too late to stop the prophecy? Was it even a prophecy? Who can tell? Let's find out. I had to hurry, they were after me. Maybe. Who, I don't know, but they might have been, so I had to hurry, you know, just in case.

I arrived there. It was dark. The doors were shut. So I opened them. It was difficult, because they were shut, but I managed it. The handle was cold. And brass. Cold and brass. I turned the cold brass handle and opened the door. I went in. It was dark. She was there.

Dead.

She was dead. I knew it. I was too late. They'd got there first. Who? The ones out of the prophecy. On the inscription. At least, that's the way it looked. I moved closer. Was she dead? Was she really dead? No. She was asleep. It was dark. Are you still reading this? Fucking hell.

I accidentally clicked 'I Like This' instead of reply.
Don't get me wrong, I did like it. But I would rather click the button of my own free will.

Ohez noez
I read that prophecy. The one where you're in the dark. You're left in the dark. You find the light-switch and turn it on ... and you're still in the dark.

'Tis the prophecy of British Gas electricity - you did'nt pay your bill.
