That was the thing: Once, the difference between light and dark had been basic. One was good, one bad. Suddenly, though, things werenβt so clear. The dark was still a mystery, something hidden, something to be scared of, but Iβd come to fear the light, too. It was where everything was revealed, or seemed to be. Eyes closed, I saw only the blackness, reminding me of this one thing, the most deep of my secrets; eyes open, there was only the world that didnβt know it, bright, inescapable, and somehow, still there. β¨ Lock and Key. Book by Sarah Dessen, April 22, 2008.
