I hear a rustling noise replace the lump I assume is my mother. I call out to her again. No response. A tear slips down my cheek. I walk out of her room and quietly towards my own.

I pull my door open, small wrists clicking with the action. Something seems off. I try not to think anything of it. I shut the door quickly in order to keep out creepy crawlers, or in this case creepy crawler. I jump on my bed and burrow into the blankets.
I think it's been five minutes when something really doesn't feel right. Bile rises into the back of my throat and my heart races.

Shuffle.
"Sweet dreams, Cadey."
