Crash! The piercing noise startled me. It was the middle of the night and I leaped out of bed. I glanced out the window for a moment and I caught sight of a bright, full moon in a starless and clear sky. I tiptoed down the stairs and I caught a glimpse of a cryptic shadow following my every move.
I stifled a scream. Beads of sweat trickled down my face. I realized the grandfather clock's loud ticks suddenly stopped. The realization hit me hard and I found my body was paralyzed. I tried to force myself to budge but I couldn't. I tried harder but I just couldn't get my feet off the ground; it was as if my feet were glued to the mosaic floor.
Abruptly, a strong wind pushed at my side and I toppled over with a great amount of force. I looked up to see the same cryptic shadow racing across the roof so rapidly, I almost missed it. Panting hard, I got up on my unsteady feet with great difficulty. I could see a faint light in the kitchen flickering, but instead of checking what it was, I wheeled around on the edge of my heels and started to run fast as lightning.
I raced up the flight of stairs to my room and I jerked the door open and slammed it shut. My body fell to the ground and I braced myself. I closed my eyes and tried to relax for a moment. What's happening to me? I thought to myself.
I thought I saw the doorknob turn. I stood still for a moment as my heart pounded against my chest. I got up quickly, and slowly turned the doorknob and opened the door. The door creaked open. I peered outside but nobody was there. However, I still felt a presence. Was this all an illusion?
