“No. No… No!’ the fear ebbed my voice, cut through me like a knife. I ran, bare feet slipping and sliding over the floorboards. I turned the corner and headed for the backdoor.
Run. Run. I must run.

“Why do I write? Anything that I look through my own creative mind, as profoundly or sea dim as it goes, I get comfortable with its meaning and write it. I want to communicate my words to individuals as they can feel my feelings for this malicious world we live inside. Nothing is radiant what I compose, it will be dim and extremely honest like H.P. Lovecraft set to his own particular tone. Everything that I write will have a repulsiveness, have a misfortune, have a consummation that will be obscurely glad however totally unnerving that is valid with regards to this presence. Fiction to me will have sentiments within them that will make your internal soul jump inside its sea and see the art of what it can bring into this presence.”
― - D.L. Lewis
