            There I lay in the hospital bed barely alive, barely breathing. The nurse came in to check on me every five minutes or so.

            "Are you awake yet," the nurse would ask,

            "Yes, I think," was always my response.

             Then, I stopped hearing the beating of the heart monitor. The doctors and nurses ran in and put a face mask over my face to help me breathe.

Then, I heard footsteps, the same footsteps I heard in the house the day before. At first they were a soft whisper and they grew louder with every step, until they were so close it sounded like thunder to my ears. Then, they stopped. I looked out the door and saw a dark figure standing there, the same glowing eyes as when the were in the house. Then, they multiplied...
