It has been keeping me safe. Its voice, its whispers in the dark, promising ruin if I do not obey. I've counted the locks, checked the doors, stayed in bed away from the asphalt and the fire... I've allowed its cold fingers to wrap around my ribs at night, its whisper curling in my ear.

And then that thing in the dark-the creature with just a mouth that was supposed to protect me-has started to smile.

One Percent Dark - a descent into the terror coiling in my mind, where true horror and monsters are carried within.

This story is one of six in A House of Splinters-a collection of short horror stories that descends into the haunted corridors of thought. A house can hold many rooms, but some are locked, broken, hiding memories we'd rather forget.
