The dark is many things. Empty, suffocating, depriving, terrifying, but also comforting for some. Fear, however, is the most commonly associated feeling. There are many reasons people fear the dark.
Darkness is a mixed sort of blessing. For in darkness things can hide and things can be hidden. All of mans greatest accomplishments and his worst failures both die in darkness. For some it is a form of redemtion. For some a loss of everything.
The darkness can be black, blue, purple. It can be a place, it can be a feeling. It can be scary, it can be mysterious, it can even be inviting in a strange way.
You only get one vote. You only get one counted opinion. You can rant and try to make people believe whatever, but in the end, every person gets one chance. One chance to have a definite say in this election.
