Like the title says, I'm making a story. I plan on it being a Horror story. Here is the first bit I have:

Darkness.

It encompassed every corner and crevice of these eternally cursed lands. Its quest to rule never ended.  It suffocated every ounce of life that dared tread upon its domain. Nothing escaped its vice-like grip once it wrapped its steely fingers around one’s throat.  There was no compassion or mercy in these blackened corridors. There was no feeling, other than the supreme desire to conquer. These lands do not judge. They are free of bias and discrimination. You can be a high king or lowly peasant and you will suffer all the same if the judges call. It doesn’t matter. It all ends the same.

Screams.

Grotesque wails so brittle they cracked the air like a cat cutting the soft flesh of silence. A wicked sound that crawled its way up your spine and in to your brain. Its rapacious claws tore away at your sanity and sent you in to a rabid frenzy of abject misfortunes. It was a symphony of horrid screeches and wails ranging from deep baritones to high falsettos. It was the unseen killer.
Any unfamiliar with this terrain would not last more than a moment before succumbing to the pernicious shadows that crawled across the scenery. Grubby hands grasped for any mortal flesh, looking for a reprieve from their eternal curse. Manic eyes dashed around endlessly as they watched and awaited their next torment. Their opaque mouths forever opened with their endless screams. They forever watched the land to which they were trapped.
They are avaricious creatures, as all Underworld dwellers seemed to be. A nasty syndrome that infected and plagued whomever inhaled the seemingly noxious gases wafting from the very hearth. It was a pungent odor, really; sickening to Above-landers. It was unseen, yet visible.

Scratch Team, sorry if it's a little bit inappropriate.

Please tell me how you like it so far!
