It's Dark in Here

It’s dark in here. And I don’t mean a little darkness where there’s a sliver of light off in the corner. I’m talking about utter and total darkness. It’s been like this all day. I just don’t understand why the light hasn’t appeared. It’s spooky.
And if that wasn’t bad enough, there are presences here. I don’t know exactly how to explain it. I just feel full. It’s crazy, I know.
Wait. The light. It grows brighter by the second! It’s beautiful!
I quickly glance around to discover the source of my fullness. I discover there are hundreds of objects just loafing around inside me. How did they get here? When did this happen? “Get out!”
Then, as if I had summoned it by the power of my voice, a creature appears. It’s thick and long with many legs. It searches for something inside me. “Leave my body alone!” I scream in horror and frustration. Why am I being violated?
The giant creature suddenly grabs a wayward object. It screams. And then the light goes out once more.
It’s dark in here.
