Prologue
I know I’m awake but for some reason. I can't open my eyes. You know that gut feeling that someone is watching you but you don’t know for sure? That’s what I’m feeling now.
Five minutes pass. To me it felt like an eternity.
When I finally get the courage to open my eyes no one’s there. Until I look up at the wall. I see a shadow casting over my small bookshelf. The shadow resembled what I would assume to be a man wearing a top hat. I had seen the shadow before. it had only been on two of my walls, the wall that my bookshelf was against and the wall that my desk was against.
I know that no one is really therebecause I had thought the shadow was casting because of the big telescope that was in the middle of my room. I had gotten the telescope from someone on my step sister's side of the family, but that was years ago. Though I wasn’t sure how a telescope could make a shadow of a man wearing a top hat. I wasn’t exactly scared of the shadow but I still felt a presence in the room.
Since I only sleep one one side of mybed and didn’t have a nightstand, I had a tall stool and a shorter stool next to my bed one with my phone charging on the and the other with my tv remotes I was planning to grab my remote to turn on my tv so I would have some form of light. My hand however just won’t move.
In my head I thought how great would it be to be able to on the light with my mind but I know nothing would happen. I slowly move my hand on the blanket hoping I would get the courage to just grab the remote but my hand still won’t move. Soon I feel a tear rolling down the left
side of my face. Why do I have to be so fucking scared of the dark. In my head I tried to pray to god but soon I just started silently boling my eyes out. God please give me the littlest bit of light to grab the remote. A couple minutes go by. Hello? Please just give me a little light. God?? Satan are you there? Please whoever's listening please just give me a little bit of light.
After begging for light a car flies by my
window and shines a little light. When I saw the light a rush to grab my remote and aggressively pressed the ok button. The tv soon turned on and I quickly searched for something to turn on so my room wasn't silent.
Once I found something I wiped away my tears then drifted off into a deep sleep.
