Black Eyed & Pale..

He felt the crisp, cold night air on his skin as he opened the door. "Brrrr" He thought, looking up at the icy cold sky, for it was very clear out, and he could see the stars. The man looked down at the figure that stood there on his doorstep. The child looked about 10, and was just over five feet tall, thin, and very pale. "Let me in" she said, "For I am very cold". For a moment the man just stood there, transfixed, almost as if in a trance. The man looked down and saw her eyes; they were black, and had no white corneas. Black, like the icy bottom of a deep lake. Like an empty starless sky. A feeling of overwhelming dread came over him. Dread, followed by terror and unhappiness, the darkest feeling of depression he had ever known. Fear, then control. He could not look away though, for those eyes, they seemed suck him in, and consume his very soul.."LET, ME, IN"..those words..he had to obey..and let her in..
