A darkened stairway that leads up into darkness

---

A lonely type photograph that can inspire fear and phobias. A long rising staircase that reaches up into a nothingness. Complete darkness at the top. Into the unknown of what lies ahead. Dimly lit, shadows falling and then into total blackness. Perhaps a silence so still one can hear their own heartbeat at the creak of every step one slowly and most cautiously bears weight upon. Fear,doubt,uncertainty.
