Darkness Within the Park

The Darkness Within the Park is most visible when the sun is low in the sky or hidden by clouds. When the Darkness within the Park appears, its presence is only gradually noticeable. A casual park goer will look at a tree, or a rock, or a picturesque brook and suddenly realize that the shadows are quite wrong. They’re bigger than they should be. But of course, how do you know exactly how long a shadow should be? Doubt is introduced to the mind of the park goer, and  they typically move on, perhaps walking more quickly than they might have otherwise.

Should the park goer stay rooted to the spot, they would see that the Darkness Within the Park grows. The shadows, indeed longer than they should have been, will lengthen and become deeper, taking on a depth of texture that is perhaps a little more than it should be.

Any tourist foolish enough to stand their ground would find the shadows meeting and merging around them, taking on a weight and a presence beyond mere light and shadow. It would become apparent that there are things inside the Darkness Within the Park, stretching, moving, waiting to emerge.
