David

How do you define darkness, he wondered? Even in the deepest night, or darkest room, there was some hint of light. Where would twilight end and darkness begin, at a hundred feet past the cave’s entrance, two hundred, a thousand?
When would he stand with his hand immediate to his face, and still be unable to see it as a part of his body, or totally, invisibly, lost in the darkness of that confining space.
He heard breathing coming from close by, and thought about who, what, and where that breathing came from.
He couldn’t see.
He needed light.
He couldn’t define what he was, where he was, who he was, without its definition.
