ALLIE

I open my eyes and try to look around, but I can't see much for the blood in my eyes. I reach up and wipe my forehead and winced from the pain.

What happened?

I finally clear my eyes enough to see. The room is dark, so dark that I can barely make out my hand in front of me.

It's cold in here.

I can kind of make out a light it looks like it may be coming out from under a door. I crawl toward what I think is the door and I try to peek under the door.

I can't see anything.

I let out a loud sigh and crawl to a wall directly in front of the door. I'm unsure of how much time passed when I finally hear what sounds like footsteps. They grow louder and louder.

Someone is coming.

When the sounds stop they are right in front of the door.

Did they leave?

I didn't hear them walk away. I crawl back over to the door and looked under, but I still couldn't see anything. Then a ticking sounds almost like water than it got louder or a clock.

What is that?

I focus on the ticking and I realize what it is.

Where is that coming from?

It is a small ticking sound it a wristwatch.

I look to the corner of the room and I see...

I'm going crazy.

Is this real?

The man starts to come out toward me, I close my eyes shut tight but when I open them again he is gone like he wasn't there at all.

What is going on?

As I sit there in confusion a sound distracts me.

No, it can't be?

Footsteps.

Are they leaving?

Wait, what? Didn't this just happen?

I can't see anything.

They grow louder and louder.

Someone is coming.

They are right in front of the door.

Did they leave?

Then a ticking sounds almost like water than it got louder or a clock.

What is that?

I focus on the ticking and I realize what it is.

Where is that coming from?

It is a small ticking sound it a wristwatch.

I look to the corner of the room and I see...

I'm going crazy.

I can just hardly make out a shape of a man standing in the corner.

Red glowing eyes, sharp teeth.

Is this real?

The man starts to come out toward me, I close my eyes and open them again he's gone like he wasn't there at all.

What is going on?

As I sit there in confusion a sound distracts me.

No, it can't be?

Footsteps.

The light is coming from under a door peeking under the door.

Wait, what? Didn't this just happen?

I can't see anything.

Louder and louder.

Someone is coming.

They are in front of the door.

Did they leave?

Then a ticking sounds.

What is that?

I realize what it is.

Where is that coming from?

Wristwatch.

I look to the corner of the room and I see...

I'm going crazy, this can't be happening.

A man standing in the corner.

Red eyes, sharp teeth.

Is this real?

He lunges at me

NO!

A sound distracts me.

No, it can't be?

Footsteps.

Not again!
