Monster

The dead of night, haunting whispers screaming my name.

From  the darkness there is a rustle.

Perhaps a creature scuttling across the floor?

Trembling fingers longing for the light yet are too frightened to emerge from the sheets.

Eyes closed tightly, heart throwing itself against a bone cage.

Is there a monster in my bedroom, or is it in the bed?
