It was a cold winter night, and the wind howled like a pack of hungry wolves outside. Sarah had always been afraid of the dark, but tonight, the darkness seemed to have a life of its own. She lay in bed, wrapped tightly in her blanket, trying to ignore the unsettling feeling that something was watching her.
The room was pitch-black, and the only sound was the occasional creak of the old house settling. Sarah’s heart pounded in her chest, and she could feel the cold seeping into her bones. She tried to tell herself it was just her imagination, but the shivering wouldn’t stop.
Suddenly, she heard a faint rustling sound coming from the closet. Her mind raced with possibilities, but she knew deep down that it wasn’t just the wind or a loose piece of clothing. She could feel it¡ªa presence in the room with her.
Sarah’s eyes widened as she saw a faint glow emanating from the closet. It was a sickly green light that seemed to pulse with a sinister energy. She wanted to scream, but her voice was trapped in her throat. The light grew brighter, and she could see a vague shape forming within it.
shapeThe was humanoid, but twisted and grotesque. It seemed to be made of shadows and darkness, with glowing eyes that stared right through her. Sarah’s body shook uncontrollably as she realized that the thing was moving towards her.
It reached out with long, skeletal fingers, and Sarah could feel its cold touch on her skin. She tried to pull away, but it was as if her body was no longer her own. The creature’s touch sent waves of icy terror through her, and she could feel herself slipping away.
Just as she thought she would lose consciousness, the door to her room burst open. Her brother, John, rushed in, his face pale with worry. “Sarah! Are you okay?” he shouted, flicking on the light.
The room was empty, and the closet was closed. Sarah looked around, her heart still racing. Had it all been a nightmare? She wasn’t sure, but she knew one thing for certain¡ªshe would never be alone in the dark again.
