What lurks in the Darkness

I took a little break from writing for the book and just decided to write whatever came to my mind, and after revising once, this is what I produced.

“The echoing of my own screams were deafening. Couldn’t he hear it? We once were so connected, two bodies sharing the same soul. I tried to take a step forward, my arms stretched. The darkness had finally enveloped itself around me. The pain felt it could easily shatter every ounce of my being if I gave in to it completely. The agony was piercing, but I wouldn’t allow it to claim me, not when I knew he was out there. I knew he was seeking, but would he find me in time?

I tried to feel my way around but all there was was the blackness. Infinite darkness; the same that had once been my life, before he had come along and erased every trace of it off of my mind. But now, here I was. There was no escaping it this time, but I still clung to the hope he would find a way. He must. I just had to hold on, just a little bit more, before it swallowed me whole.”

  4. Saw you tweet and came for a visit. : )

    Totally intrigued by the connection the narrator has with this mysterious guy! Watch the word "me" in that first paragraph, though. The repetition jumped out at me.

    Hope your first Novel is coming along nicely!
