Cabin in the Woods

Not a Good Night...

  I awake with a start, eyes flashing open and heart pounding out of my chest. The muffled sound of scratching is confusing but, for some reason, terrifying. Slowly drifting out of the daze of slumber, I realize the door of my cabin is the source of the noise. Looking over I can see my fellow campers sleeping soundly in their bunk beds across from mine. It appears I'm the only one who's noticed this... I can't tell what it is that's making this noise.. Maybe it's a racoon that can smell food and is looking for it? I don't know.

   *deep audible sniffing*

   What is that? A dog perhaps? I can't remember if Tiffany brought her dog... No it can't be hers, that little creature couldn't possibly make all this noise!

   Maybe I could see it from the window beside the other bunk bed...? That kinda sounds like a horror story though, doesn't it? I hear a noise, go to investigate? Then for some reason I run into the forest, away from all the people that can help me?

   I can see the moon light through that transparent cloth covering the window. You'd think they would use something a bit heavier, guess they don't want to block out the sunlight. In case we have any heavy sleepers to which only the light of day can wake them... During my contemplation over what blinds to use, a large shadow crosses over the window. What was that?! It looked furry, and i don't think anyone here is that hairy... Or tall! That shadow covered the whole window! There's only one man here and he's a scrawny poor excuse for a camper.

   I can hear a low growl coming from the door. It doesn't sound like any growl i've ever heard! Wait... If there was a shadow at the window and a growl at the door... wouldn't that mean there's more than one? More than one? One what...? I don't want to know! ....I don't want to think about this. I don't... I.. Wait... if there's more of them, mom... dad... are they ok? I can't hear anything but this scratching, growling, noises... M-mom.... D-..... I start crying hot tears thinking about what could possibly be happening, or already....

   Maybe this is all just a dream? Yeah! Maybe if I just lay back down... -I hear a loud smack on the door- If i just lay back down. -Another loud smack with a slight sound of wood cracking- If i just close my eyes.... -A terrible sound of wood cracking and splitting apart echos throughout the room. Followed by an eerie quiet- If I just lay here and fall asleep... I don't hear the creaking of floorboards! I don't know what you're talking about! If I just fall asleep. If I just fall asleep then I won't hear the girls in the other bed waking up. If I just fall asleep I can just wake up. If I just--
