It was a cold night, I woke up at 3:33 a.m. and realised that my body was freezing and heavy. I couldn't move my arms or my legs. It felt like I was tied. I tried to see all around me, but there was just darkness everywhere. My room has a tiny window but there was no moon that night so obviously, there was no moonlight to see at least a little bit.
Suddenly, I heard a voice, a creepy one. It was like a whisper from an old man. I tried to scream but I couldn't. I started crying and the old man laughed. It was a strange laugh. And after that, the room became darker and I saw those horrible yellow eyes staring at me.
"You can't run, you can't hide, your soul's all mine" he said. Then I cried louder because I knew that was my end. The shadow couldn't stop growing and so my fear. At that moment, I realised about the pain, he was hurting me and I didn't know how, he was two metres apart from me!
In the end, I heard a strange and loud noise coming from him. I gave up, I knew I wasn't able to fight him or ask for help. I was trapped in my own body. Sadly, the shadow kept my soul as it was expected and now, I'm living underground in an endless agony.
