A Quick Venture Into a Mind Unknown to Reality

Cry Baby

No picture yet. Got the idea for this while listening to the song above. Enjoy.

*~*~*~*~*

I wake up, I can feel eyes, menacingly, staring at me. I know he's there again. He always is. Watching, waiting, with hateful enthusiasm, for me to acknowledge his presence. I never did, and I guess that's why nothing's ever happened before. Until now.

Stupid me.

I try not to let my breath hitch, move occasionally so I dont seem stiff. But he can tell, he knows it's fake. He comes closer, I hear his clawed hands rasp against the hardwood floor. His breath, its on my neck. I can feel his eyes studying the left side of my face, he growls. I flinch. Fuck.

He growls more, one hand coming up and wrapping around my neck, pushing me onto my back so I can see his hairless, fleshy body in full view. Horns, claws, and teeth that lack the privilege to be hidden behind lips. His spine sticks out his back, he's hunched forward with four arms and two legs that've got bones protruding from the elbows and knees. Grey as the moon and anorexic looking, about as much skin and meat to wrap around its bones and not a bit to spare.

I scream and its hand tightens around my neck. I thrash wildly against its hold. It takes a leg and both my arms in each of its hands and holds the other leg down with the pressure of its knee on my shin. The pain of its knee bone on me is the only thing I register as I whimper, my life draining from my body and entering his in the form of a malicious pleasure.

A flash of light and everything stops, I feel I'm in control of my body again. That's when the tears flow, the sobs come out as I choke in air. I shake wildly as I gasp and my mother stares at me like its normal, like I'm fine. "What?" is all I receive, no words of comfort, no sympathy. Just annoyance.

"H-h-he was th-there!" I stutter between sobs, not yet comfortable with my now returned freedom of breath. She rolls her eyes, beginning to retreat back into the hallway as she says "sure, go to sleep, cry baby."

She switches off the lights and closes the door, shrouding me in darkness. The only thing I can see is his teeth, pearly whites, in the corner of my room as he does his best impersonation of a smile, maliciously.
