The scribbly man
Goodkind, Terry
"They are the monsters under the bed when you are little
the shape just caught of of the corner of your eye when you thought you were alone
the shadow of something in a dark corner that surprises you and then isn't there. They stop you dead with a knot of unexpected terror in the pit of your stomach. We have all seen fleeting glimpses of them. Never lon enough to see them as I saw them
but it was them. I recognized it the instant I saw it. We've all seen flashes of them
the dark shadow just out of sight. They could briefly terrify us before but never hurt us because they came from so far distant. They were never able to fully materialize in our world so we saw only transient glimpses of them
the shape of them if the light was just right
if the shadows were deep enough...if you were afraid enough. The star shift has brought us closer to their realm so that they now have the power to step into our world and hurt us."--
