"Click", I wake up my face damp with sweat and my vision spinning and twisting. I steadied myself on the ground and took in my surroundings, the door. It was slowly creeping open, I dropped to the ground careful to make sure that whoever that was behind the door didn't see me awake. I closed my eyes shut and sat as still as possible. I heard them take each step down the stairs, they were slow almost hesitant to come all the way down. Then the footsteps stopped abruptly. I listened closely but couldn't hear a sound. Just as quickly as the steps stopped they started again, faster this time coming closer and closer until they were right next to me. The person stayed there for awhile, studying my seemly asleep body, luckily I was to scared to even take a breath. Eventually he swivelled around and once again stood there for awhile. After what seemed to be and eternity he left, leaving me to wonder, " how did I get here?"
