When you're lying down, prepared to sleep, do you see shadows in the room sometimes? Do you pretend you don't see anything, and act like it's just a pile of clothes on your chair? That's always a person's first instinct, ignore it. But what you don't know is ignoring it won't make it go away. Neither will squeezing your eyes shut and hoping it's just an illusion. Out of sight doesn't mean out of existence. It is there, and it will wait.
Acknowledging it, however, is worse. It hates being seen. It will do anything to ensure you never live to tell its tale.
Perhaps you may take a third option. You may lift your blanket and cover every visible body part other than your head. You miscalculated. It will attack your visible head, and the next second you'll be lying there - your head separated from your body. If you cover your head with a blanket, it'll tear through the flimsy covering.
There is only one method of survival - you offer someone else in the house as a sacrifice. But even that changes you drastically. Just look at me. I offered my unborn sister, and now I'm it too, sitting in the darkest corner of your room, waiting for which option you'll choose.
