I knew I shouldn't break the only rule I had ever been given and yet, I turned the knob anyway. The door swung open and revealed a library full of books bound in strange materials and bearing stranger names. I gasped in horror as an eye popped open in front of me. More of its kind came to me and stared. I hurried from the room and they didn't follow. I can still feel their stare on me, even now. Surely, my invasion of that room will be known.

If you're new to the #fediverse, allow me to introduce myself since I'm pretty new too! (I've used other accounts though)

I write #horror, #cosmichorror, and very short stories (#vss) fiction. I will be using content warnings for all of my content as the fediverse might not understand that my work isn't suitable for everyone. If you have any questions, concerns, or want to talk about writing horror please send me a message or follow! I will always follow back.

I awoke to a sound. It permeated everything, it felt like it came from everywhere. I could barely tolerate it. I longed for it to end but knew in my heart it would not. As I gazed out into the empty world I knew it never would. After all, what could prove more deafening than silence?

The box turned in my hand, achieving a new configuration. I wish I understood its cycle. What did each iteration mean? All I knew was the result was the same. Each time it changed, the red light shining from within grew brighter. If I wasn't mistaken, all of us seemed to get older. The years of our lives being drained to feed an unimaginable fetus. One that grew stronger every few minutes.
