50 word Story Contest Week #14 - From the Darkness We Crave the Light

in #fiftywords8 years ago (edited)

I learned about this contest through the weekly post and I'm really excited to get involved being a new Steemian!! Hope you enjoy

Why is it that we are afraid of the dark?
This fear lives inside us all as if it's a part of our biological makeup. As if its developed from years of evolution.
What hides in the darkness that we are so afraid of?
Why do we crave the light?

Sort:  

Oh, what an innovative entry! I would've never thought of submitting something like this. These are all interesting questions. Perhaps our fear stems from our fear of the unknown. The fact that we don't know what lurks in the darkness is what's terrifying. Light provides warmth and safety, but it too has the potential to be blinding. Great stuff!

This post has been read and graded. Best of luck!

Thank you!!
