They are Here With Us.

They hide. They live in our field of vision that is indistinct to us. They taunt us with their shadows teasing our curiously and human instinct. When our heads jolt towards the dancing figures they move, they move back into their world filled with mystery and wonder. They laugh sometimes, do you hear them? The echoing that plays in your ears? They giggle as they then manifest themselves into our brains forcing us to do things that seem irrational to most of our kind. They control us when the sun melts away into the sky, plaguing the world with darkness. It’s their daylight. It’s their time to dance and play in the world while we sleep. Those few who cannot take refuge in the safety of slumber are now their playthings. You are doomed to a night of sharp inhalations from movements out of the corner of your eye, you will turn your head in fear only to realize that there is nothing. You will laugh at your own ignorance and childish ways. You will brush it off as a trick of the lighting or even blame your fear on your own vision. You are wrong. The shadows are dancing around you giggling in your ears.
