Deep into that darkness peering, long I stood there, wondering, fearing, doubting, dreaming dreams I never understood.

Reworded quote by Edgar Allan Poe. 

1809 - 1849.

***

The scariest monsters are the ones that lurk within our souls.

Edgar Allan Poe - Original version

PROMPT 80  

Monsters don't live under our beds. They live in the recesses of our minds. (Variation of Edgar Allen Poe's famous quote.)

My interpretation - Monsters didn't live under your bed. They sat at your table.

Deep into that darkness peering, long I stood there, wondering, fearing, doubting, dreaming dreams no mortal ever dared to dream before.

Edgar Allan Poe - Original version
