Richelle E. Goodrich, Smile Anyway
"Time and again the sun sets like a bedimming curtain before my eyes, taking with it all illumination, warmth, and color. I am overwhelmed by night and the monsters that lurk in shadows of despair.

The realization of this dream is only a matter of waiting out the dreary night. So, I shall persevere."
