I lay on the ground, shivering. The walls around me are made of stone, they fill up my world. I cannot see beyond them. Have never seen beyond them. Instead, I lay in this pit, on the cold ground, with a dark light surrounding me. It is the only light in the Pit. The light is of the sky that blows snowflakes onto the Earth. Far above, I see this sky and it illuminates this world into a grey haze. The beauty of it is undeniable. Yet, a snowflake never falls here. There is no white to marvel. Outside these walls, the snow fills a surrounding forest of white birches and the cold ground. I have never seen the forest, but it is there. I lay on the Pit's stone, shivering; dieing. The whispers of the Demons haunt me. They are the only other voices I know. They tell me nothing but what is horrible. But this Pit and the Demons of Darkness are beautiful. They are my life source and I am theirs. But the price of this pain is costly.

The Pit
I lay on the ground, shivering. The walls around me are made of stone, they fill up my world. I cannot see beyond them. Have never seen beyond them. Instead, I lay in this pit, on the cold ground, with a dark light surrounding me. It is the only light in the Pit. The light is of the sky that blows snowflakes onto the Earth. Far above, I see this sky and it illuminates this world into a grey haze. The beauty of it is undeniable. Yet, a snowflake never falls here. There is no white to marvel. Outside these walls, the snow fills a surrounding forest of white birches and the cold ground. I have never seen the forest, but it is there. I lay on the Pit's stone, shivering; dieing. The whispers of the Demons haunt me. They are the only other voices I know. They tell me nothing but what is horrible. But this Pit and the Demons of Darkness are beautiful. They are my life source and I am theirs. But the price of this pain is costly.
