Contest #12 Elyrian

Black. Black is a void; empty, hallucinatory, nonexistent. Complete nothingness. Black is a rift, creating a cleft between what is real and what is not. It comes with the fear of the unknown, of the undiscovered secrets trapped in the nether, concealed from the eyes of what is living. Black is everywhere, always right between our eyes, yet it is nowhere to be found. Black is stealthy, surreptitious, hushed. It is a power to be controlled, still it is wild and unruly. Black is irresistible, captivating, compulsive.

What is black? 

Black is death.
