demons in my head

a soft growl from under my queen sized bed. what was that? a shiver sent down my spine. red glowing eyes lay staring at the full length mirror across the room. i didn't see the eyes.
the noises fill my head. eyes open. my heart is racing..but how can that be? i was just asleep. again, another growl, this one a bit louder than the last. i didn't know where it was coming from.
under the bed.

i stared at my alarm clock. 3:10 am. i tried to get up, but i couldn't seem move. my body felt numb. my brain was awake but i wasn't.
there. in the corner, a shadowy figure. the figure stood tall, with angry red eyes. go back to sleep. i thought to myself. it'll all go away. but will it?

it's just in my head. my mind was playing tricks on me. another growl. another figure. four sets of gleaming red eyes are on me now. closer. closer. now, at the foot of my bed. is this the end?

white. all i could see was white. my eyes opened. it was morning, the shine of the sun came through from my bay window. it's all over now.
