It stands beside me every night when I’m in my room. I can’t see it, but I can definitely sense its presence and I don’t like it. You may call me crazy or just making things up, but I can assure that this thing is very real.
When I turn off the lights and lay down my head, a sense of overwhelming paranoia fills my head as I see it from the corner of my eye. It’s very clever, whatever it is. It makes sure that I won’t be able to see its entire body and teases me with only a small peek. Sometimes it terrifies me so much that I pull up the sheets in order to hide my face. Doing that may not rid me of its presence, but at least it gives me a temporary relief before I need to peek out my head again.
This has been going on for a while now. I don’t even know exactly how it started. I just one day woke up in the middle of the night and found it standing beside me. It’s become a sort of dark fascination and nightmare for me. I try to get a glimpse of it whenever I get up in the middle of the night before remembering how much I fear it.
The absolute worst part is that it doesn’t always stay in my room. For many years I would sleep with my bedroom door open and have absolutely no problem with it. Recently I stopped doing that after noises were heard in my hallway. They were sort of faint and would grow louder as they reached my room. I still remember feeling my hairs stand straight up as I heard the footsteps creeping though my hall.
By far the worst part of all of this is the fact that there’s nothing I can do. It’s going to continue haunting me, making me question my sanity, and keep me from getting the sleep I so desperately need. When will it end? I wish I knew.
