Excellence Award in the 'Write As Rain 2014' competition

When darkness falls beasts arise
When the shadows grow deep the beasts are strong
When day sleeps the legends are real
The fierce eyes made of horror and fire
Look into mine
the howl of the terror creeping inside my bones
Shivering I get up
I fight the pain and try to sprint
But the freezing wind pulls me back
I push through the wind
And run.
