Into the Dark
Darkness is in the eye of the beholder
The inhumane face in the mirror glared back, covered in blood. "I won't let you hurt anyone else," I challenged, surveying the carnage.
The reflection's malevolent grin taunted me: "You're weak; you need to rest." Then -- a diabolic force swept over me.
I slithered into the darkness, into the unknown, like a caged animal trapped in my own psyche.
It was cathartic, in a way. At least now I knew who or what I was. I could see every sadistic thing he did, every evil thought he carried, yet I had no control.
Though horribly afraid, I was also intrigued.

Wild Card Weekend Recap: What Happens Now?
I think I figured out why I love Wild Card Weekend so much. It's because it's the first playoff anything of the calendar year. The NFL season starts in the fall, and once upon a time, the champion was crowned either on or slightly before New Year's. The evolution of the NFL schedule has resulted in the playoffs starting just into the New Year, and currently, the final week of the season falls on the first weekend of the New Year, with Wild Card Weekend coming a week after that. So yes, chronologically, the NFL's Wild Card Weekend serves as the first playoff anything of the calendar year.
