Darkened rooms aren't always the breeding ground for sinister activity. Sometimes they are the most peaceful, beautiful little corners of the universe.

I like to turn the lights off in my bedroom and flick on my glitter lamp, which succeeds only in creating a water'y effect on the white of my ceiling which contrasts again with the dark blue of the walls. A darkened room can mean someone is simply relaxing, dreaming, living, being.

Ideally, I'd like to be able to always write in a darkened room, curtains drawn, by nothing more than possibly a candlelight, or in this instance, the glow of my monitor. A darkened room need not be a solid black pit of questionable activity.. it might just be the last refuge from the white noise of an overly busy world.
