Close your eyes and greet the darkness. Meet it in the space between dreams, where consciousness quietly fades, and rest begins. Nothing will ever shine across your face without first passing through the dark. The space beneath the bed no longer frightens you. Nightmares, once vivid, have grown soft around the edges. The monsters were never monsters, only shadows, one after another, revealing themselves as reflections. You live in dark mode, and laugh with it. It's not the enemy you think it is.
