Mike woke up at 3 a.m in a hotel that he had never stayed in before. He heard the deep growls but couldn't identify what they were from. He turned the lamp on that sat on the nightstand. He walked over to the window and looked out. But instead of finding the night sky and beautiful scenery that he had commented on the night before, he found a large eyeball staring back at him. He stumbled back, his eyes wide. He couldn't even make a sound. 

He heard the creaks of the floorboards from quickened footsteps. There was tapping on the hotel room door. The bathroom's light kept turning on and off, on and off. The television turned on and a large eyeball covered the screen, constantly moving and rotating. 

Mike felt nails run up his spine and turned to find an attractive young woman with black eyes. She screamed, causing the room to shake. 

Mike wanted to scream in terror too but his voice was stuck deep in his throat. He hurried toward the door. The tapping grew louder. Was he brave enough to open it?

Before he could answer, the door flew open. He stared at an empty hallway filled with fog. Spiders scurried along the walls. Big black flies flew up and down the p that, he stopped and looked at the numbers on the doors. Every door had his room's number on it. 

He fell to his knees and cried in fear.

But then he woke up. 

He breathed heavily, trembling harshly. He looked over at the alarm clock. It was 2:59 a.m. 

He heard the growls again followed by tapping at the door.
