  tic-crack-pop-tic

Is the far distance sound that echos through my house as I sleep my day away, my mind on autopilot while my body rest but my senses are high.

tic-crack-pop-tic-tic
Creak~ creak~~

The sound of floor boards under pressure bounces off the walls.

silence-creak~ creak~
tic-crack-pop-tic
Silence-creak~creak~creak~creaakk~
Silence~

  My body confused at the sudden silence turns to its side and curls into a fetal position, my ears strain for any sort of noise. Very lightly wind passes by my nose make it wrinkle, confused at sudden air I twitch slightly before relaxing once more.

TIC-CRACK-TIC-TIC

The sound now in front of my face my body freezes a chill makes its way down my spine, I shiver pull the covers to my chin.

But I can't something is on my covers, something is on top of me. They have they're arms around my waist and nuzzling their face into the crook of my neck.

Goosebumps began to litter my body, I can feel them breathing on my neck my heart began to pound. A shivers ran up my spine as their hands touched my arms, I don't feel skin on mine but I feel a fabric now that I think about it the face that's nuzzling I don't feel skin either.

The nuzzling slowly stopped and their breathing evened out, 'did they fall asleep' I tried to wake up but I couldn't I was mentally and physically exhausted. My head started ringing and my eyes twitched, I tic a few times before I blacked out.
