Peek

It got late as I was working on my laptop in my bedroom with just the lamp light on next to me.

I noticed something just outside of my door and looked up.

Nothing.

Looking back down, I saw something outside my door again.

I look back up to see movement slide away from the door, like it was hair.

Thinking it's all in my head, I look back down at my screen.

Just moments later, I saw the same thing.

But this time it was at the foot of my bed.

I look up to see a glance of a head with long black hair that ducked back down immediately.

Shutting my laptop down, I cautiously lean over to the foot of the bed.

Over the side, a pale dead-like foot crawled underneath.

I rush back to the head board and stare ahead.

I try to get it through my head,

"Calm down. It's not real. You are halucinating. You just need sleep."

With a breath, I calm my nerves and turned towards my lamp

to meet a pale woman, eyes inches away,

screeching at me.
