A very well-written flash fiction about getting caught up in the dark and you are unable to know where you are going but you move slowly with care into a direction to find a safe place to wait.

Wow. I wonder what took place BEFORE the story began? Enjoyed.

I believe you have met the requirements of The Dark writing contest: Write a story where your character is stuck in complete darkness. Fiction only.

Best of luck with the The Dark writing contest.

You put the charater in a situation where there is potential danger. However, I can't visualize the story. I am being told that she is having a hard time finding her way around, but it would resinate more if I could be blind in the dark with them.

You described the maneuvering in darkness well and I wonder what she bumped into that resulted in such pain. I'm relieved she made it to the bedroom okay. Best wishes in the contest!

This is interesting and very well thought out. I know that when it's pitch black that it's hard to even make things out that you're familiar with. Thanks for sharing this well written work. Well done!

Hello, anonymous,

Nice entry for the The Dark writing prompt contest. It's very intriguing and grabbed my attention from beginning to end. The predicament is horrendous...I can't imagine waking up in complete darkness. Well done. Good luck in the contest.

There's this feeling of suspense as Harley is trying to make her way around the house that I think gives this flash piece some potential. However, it can be improved by adding more details about Harley's emotions and what it's like to be walking around in a dark house. The more we get of this, the stronger the story can be.

Finding your way in the dark can be challenging as sight is one of our most treasured senses and when we are tired we are not as aware as we should be, glad she found her bed eventually and slept on a cloud, love Dolly x

While this poem sets an atmosphere of darkness, it would be nice to have some clue as to what was threatening Harley. Was it another person, or just an evil force? Thanks for sharing.
