Riddle of the day :)

[[TSQN] Budgie]

It cannot be seen, cannot be felt,
Cannot be heard, cannot be smelt,
It lies behind stairs and under hills,
And empty holes it fills,
It comes first and follows after,
Ends life, kills laughter.

Budgie, its a riddle from The Hobbit if my memory serves me right.

The answer is The Dark.

Unfortunately for Gollum Bilbo had heard that sort of thing before; and the answer was all round him any way. "Dark!" he said without even scrathing his head or putting on his thinking cap.
