Thanks for the input. I guess my biggest issue is that I didn't cross check with preexisting theories to whether or not what was said was original or not. In truth my idea is that question what's around you would provide that sense of fear since that's my perception on horror. I read that good horror comes from within and merely my fear is the unknown. Can't tell if this is generic as well, but that's the source of fear. I am trying, to no clear avail, to capture that. I had felt that I had gotten it, that thing I am hunting for. In truth horror isn't really genre and my writing style doesn't conform to what's seen as acceptable.

Mind me being a brat but I feel as if I've been a tad misunderstood. I meant to stir thought not to be taken as a literal representation of what I believe or rathe. I wanted to cause you to question everything, thus everything is unknown, thus fear is created. I tried beating around the bush before with Dimming Darkness but this was my first direct attempt.

This is, in many forms, very enlightening. I have recently grown to question what my intellect means and where my ideals stand in the world. I thank you for this lesson in humility and an somewhat refreshing wake up to the reality I wish to evade. What little I truly know. Maybe my constant training should involve more than my own thoughts.

Tell me if you were in my shoes what would you do? How would you convey this form of horror? I ask because I have yet to figure it out myself(also I just finished watching Split and I am feeling a tad inspired hence the way it's written).
