You know how as a child you couldn't sleep at night without having some sort of light near? Drenched in sweat and enveloped with fear that a monster was hiding in your closet or under your bed? I'm sure some of you can relate and for those who can't I envy you. I wasn't afraid of the possibility of a monster to be under my bed or in the closet. I was afraid of a monster walking out of the dark void that was present before my door way.
16 years old and now suddenly this dark vibe has returned once again to haunt me,but this time much stronger. Curled up in a ball under my sheets I prayed to myself that I'd fall asleep soon. Its currently 5:59AM and daylight has yet to come. Its quite...too quite. Usually the wind and the rattling of the swing could be heard outside,but that wasn't the case tonight.
Why can't I sleep damn it!? It's been 4 hours of this tedious waiting game and yet no sign of being weary. Memories of the past came pouring into my mind. Reminding me how as a child I'd felt this ominous presence at the door way watching me. Hundreds of hours of sleep lost because of this presence...this vibe I felt. "Maybe it's a demon or some kind of spirit?" I said to myself.
I suddenly remembered years ago what my mother told me. "If you ever feel anxious or scared just call upon Jesus. His name has power." she said.
Maybe that will work and I can finally fall asleep. Jesus Jesus Jesus Jesus Jesus Jesus! For a 2 minutes straight I repeated his name,but to no avail this dark vibe I felt didn't disappear. In fact it only became stronger!
Anxiously I got out of bed and turned on the lights in my room. Just breath James everything is going to be alright. Immediatly after saying that the door to my room slammed shut and the lights started to dimmer.
You got to be fucking kidding me! I quickly ran into the closet and closed the door. The lights complrtely shut off and my breathing became hard.
A familiar immemorial presence came upon the closet door.
Pathetic! How pathetic for a 16 year old guy to be cowering in a closet like a bitch because of some bad vibe your getting. Fight it I told myself.
Heart racing as if I was about to have a heart attack I quickly opened the door. There was nothing there and the presence was gone. Confused I looked around my surroundings cautiously. Haha I laughed to myself. I'm so silly. Who's...soo-oo si-iilly? What? Turning around to who just spoke I was faced with a pale like figure. No not pale..beyond that color. Never seen a color like it. It looked to be 11 feet tall and it's eyes were pitch black. Legs and arms unaturally long.This was creature that I felt that dark vibe from. I stood there paralyzed in fear. Not able to utter a single word nor run to safety. It smiled..than everything went black
