Challenge
Write about your worst fear. Something that runs chills down your spine, stops your heart or accelerates it, makes you tremble in fear or just freezes your body and mind. Poetry preferred but prose is acceptable too.

Cloistered
Fifteen steps down
To the right.
Fourteen more
To the left.
The light itself lingers at the top tread
For fear it will not be able to return.
Down
Down
Down
Til the air thickens in your chest.
Darkness is all that dwells here.
And your escape is a forgotten dream.
Trapped in blind silence and deathly peace
Your eternal end
A living tomb.
