The Darkness Within

A darkness had begun to plague our village. Blather of the head sickness and murder had befallen the nearby settlements, and it was only a matter of time before the fear set in and turned even the most respectable men into witch frenzied hunters. I let my thoughts drift back to the pandemonium that had swept England; this land was supposed to be safe. The evil that haunted us then was not meant to follow us here. Yet, you could almost taste the panic rising. The coarse wind bit at my cheeks as winter began to take hold. The profound chill seemed as though it were not of this world, but something dark and sinister, as it moved through claiming lives for itself.
