Once Upon a Moonless Night
Description
It’s the fear—not of the dark—but rather what lurks in the dark.
The terror that the mind can feel, but cannot see.
The whisper on the wind, heard but not understood.
The ephemeral mist that curls around your legs and sends chills deep into your bones.
You know that you shouldn’t go out in the night, shouldn’t heed its seductive call.
Night after night the darkness beckons. You know that one day soon you’ll lose your resolve, give in, and become the darkness. There’ll be no going back once you do.
These are the tales whispered in dark corners. Of good people pushed too far. Stories of revenge and redemption for past wrongdoings. Stories that excite the mind where what seems to be true isn’t always the case.
Dark, foreboding, full of suspense, can you weave the story of what happens during the moonless night?
