A cold wind blew across the barren black plain, all about the tall man who peered off into the drakness was silence.  He had been standing there for several hours and still had not moved.  He could be sure in the total darkness that he even had his hand infront of his face.  Ever so slowly he inched his foot forward feeling for any pitfall that might lay before him.  Finally when he felt that the ground was stable he brought up his other foot and began the process all over again.  The wind howled in his ears and chilled him to the bone.  It seemed to be saying something to him but he could not make out the words.

    From behind him where he could not see two red points followed his movements.  It seemed it had not for for centuries and this young man would make a good meal.  It silently crept from it's hiding spot and out into the darkness beyond stalking it's prey.

   Silence seemed to echo in the tall man's ears.  It surrounded as completely as the total darkness.  He had been wandering for several hours slowly edging his way forward at first and then picking up speed as he went along.  He had heard the scream only minutes ago, a terrible high pitched scream which turned his blood to ice.  Someone else had been wandering in the darkness as he had, but they had been caught.  It was not the first time that he had heard the screams of someone dying in the darkness beyond.  They had started shortly after he had opened his eyes and found himself in the dark place which had no walls and no light.  A cold wind gusted around him and then was gone.  With it came the smell something that had been sitting for many long years in a damp places.  The tall man looked about trying to decided what to do.  He had no idea how he had gotten there or where there was for that matter but he wanted to get away.  He had been in the darkness to long already.  He tried to remember what he looked like and found his mind blank.  He could not hold thoughts very well in this place so he started walking again. 

   The red eyes stared off into the blackness.  It had enjoyed it's latest hunt the victim actually ran for a short distance when he saw the glowing red eyes.  Others had done much less some not even getting a chance to scream before it had them in its grip.  The red eyes locked onto another target moving off in the distance and looped off towards it.  The eyes could not remember such a time when so many had come for it to hunt.

   The tall man looked about again, screams of dying men came often now.  Always men never once did he hear the tell tale scream of a woman.  He pondered this thought as he walked.  He was no longer afraid of stepping into some unseen pitfall or whatever it was that killed in the blackness beyond.  He wanted out of the dark place and either of those two ways would get him out of it.  He looked dwon to where he thought his feet were and was suddenly amazed.  Directly where he imagined them where his feet.  He reached for them with his hands to make sure he wasn't seeing things and suddenly his hands came into view.  As he looked about himself more and more of his body appeared.  It did not seem to be getting lighter about him but somehow he was able to see himself now.  He wished he had a mirror to look at so he could look at his face and suddnely he felt the weight of something in his hand.  When he looked down there was a small piece of glass in his hand which reflected the slightly sun tanned face that he knew was his.  He thought about this strange conisdence for a second and decided to try his theory.  He imagined the sun in the sky above him shining light on the world where he now stood, but nothing happened. 

   The eyes was only a few feet from its prey when it felt a change in its world.  It did not like the change, it was not anything the eyes had encountered before and it was not sure what the change was.  It turned from its victim and stalked off in a new direction.

    Yeah I know it sucks but I wrote it up quick so I could play around with some HTML stuff.  I'll still be happy of any comments though.
