Hyper Shadow and I have done the scariest thing ever.
Seriously, this is the same night as the frost.
Well, we have this GIGANTIC cotton field across the street from my house. I'm talking several miles long. Anyway, farmer Dingus has just harvested the cotton. This leaves a flat, gigantic, 2-mile long field of nothing.
At night, Hyper Shadow and I did the scariest thing ever. The whole field was pitch black. We couldn't even really see in. We decided to summon our courage and do it. We ran straight into that desolate field of despair. We were going to try to run as far as we could into the darkness without chickening out.
As we ran deeper and deeper light became more and more scarce. You can just feel the darkness envelop you as you proceed like some sort of sinister shadow creeping upon you. We got so tired, but we kept on running. No matter how hard, or fast we ran, it seemed like the end of the field was getting farther and farther away from us in the darkness.
The worst part, was the journey home. From what I could judge, we made it about 1/5 to the end. We were tired, freaked out, and confused in the darkness. We started running back.
The freaky part is seeing the darkness behind you. You're running toward the light just as fast as your adreneline rush can take you. You're running like a madly insane person away from the dark. The light slowly starts to evelop you, and as you look behind you, you get even more scared and run faster away from the creeping darkness.
It wore me out so much that in the end I almost vomitted after I got through. I was so out of breath, and it was like 30 degrees last night. That was freaking insane...

I realized the moment I fell into the fissure that the book would not be destroyed as I had planned.
