It was a quiet night, and Emily lay in her bed, trying to fall asleep. The house was old, and the creaks of the floorboards were almost comforting. But then, she heard it¡ªa strange, gurgling sound coming from her stomach. She dismissed it as just hunger pangs and tried to ignore it. However, the sound grew louder and more persistent, almost as if something was moving inside her.
Emily got up to get a glass of water, hoping it would settle her stomach. As she walked to the kitchen, the gurgling intensified, and she felt a cold sweat on her forehead. She drank the water quickly, but the sound didn’t stop. Instead, it seemed to resonate through the entire house.
She decided to check the bathroom, thinking she might be coming down with something. As she opened the medicine cabinet, the gurgling turned into a low, guttural growl. Emily’s heart raced, and she realized it wasn’t just her stomach. The sound was coming from everywhere and nowhere at the same time.
Suddenly, the growling stopped, and an eerie silence filled the house. Emily’s breath caught in her throat as she slowly turned around. There, standing in the doorway, was a shadowy figure. Its eyes glowed with a sinister light, and its mouth was twisted into a grotesque smile.
Emily tried to scream, but no sound came out. The figure stepped closer, and she could see its lips moving, as if it was speaking, but all she heard was the stomach-gurgling sound again. It grew louder and louder until it consumed her entire world.
When Emily finally woke up, she was drenched in sweat, and the house was silent. She looked around, relieved that it had all been a nightmare. But as she lay back down, she heard it again¡ªthat faint, stomach-gurgling sound. This time, it was coming from outside her room. She knew she wasn’t alone anymore.
