Prologue

I'm being watched. I can feel the lurking eyes raping me, analyzing my every move. I backed farther into the dark, trying to keep my breathing as shallow as I can.

I can feel myself trembling, I'm going crazy.

What was that noise?

Who was that?

I can hear the footsteps, the creaking of the old floorboards. My time is up, their coming.

I pulled at my hair as I tried to muffle my cries.

Fuck. I inhaled sharply as the pain in my thigh starts to throb.

I want to scream, I want to die.

They found me, I can see their shadows getting closer. I wanted to run, but I couldn't move. Somehow I'm pinned to the ground, unable to do anything, unable to talk.

"Hello Eri." The voice... it was horrifying. It sent a shudder down my spine. It sounded like death.

Please, Don't. I tried to say. But all that came out was a whimper.

The shadow came closer...

Closer...

Closer.....

Then there was a scream -- the most unhinging noise.



And it took me a second to realize it was mine.

Thank you for reading.

Always check for monsters under your bed. The haunted don't rest. Never look above the ceiling.
