Turn out the lights
But don't embrace the night
Venture into the unknown
But don't stray alone
Take one step forward,
But be aware that something follows
Your blankets will swallow
Your pillows will sooth your troubled thoughts
Until your eyes start to rot
The fear keeps you awake and aware
Because of all the things that freak or scare

Ricky's POV:
Just keep moving, Ricky Just keep moving
I repeatedly chanted those words in my mind as I ran through the forest in a mad fury. My breath was short and gruff, the need for oxygen becoming more of a necessity every second. My brown button-up was just about drenched as sweat dripped down my face, sliding uncomfortably along my backside and into my socks. The muscles in my legs began to give out, ready to shut down completely so I wouldn't be able to move another step. Nevertheless, I continued to run as fast as I possibly could.
Just keep moving God damn it, don't slow down!
I didn't know
