Last night I woke up at 12:02. I have a pretty good memory, so I think I’m correct when I say that, but with what happened that night, I really can’t say. I checked my phone for the time, and I went back to sleep.

I woke up again, this time at 1:05. Everything around me was pitch black, so I felt for my phone and realized my nightlight was unplugged.

Weird.

I plugged it back in, checked the time and went back to sleep.

This time I woke up at 1:27. My curtains were spread wide apart. I remembered I just got new curtains in my room, and I almost always kept them close together.

I remembered that I always had them that way every night because I don’t like looking outside.

Odd.

I probably forgot to close them that night, no big deal. I shoved the curtains back together, checked the time, and went back to sleep.

I woke up at 2:17 this time. The curtains were open again.

Something wasoff.

There were a few white dots outside the window. Probably bugs or something. I closed the curtains again, checked the time, and went back to sleep.

I woke up again 2:45. The curtains were open again. This time, though, the window was broken.

What the h*ll?

It started to get cold, so I grabbed my phone and went to the thermostat. It said that it was 75 degrees. I changed it to 81 and went back to sleep.

“Wake up.”

I woke up again at around 3:30 or something. There was this weird voice in my head that woke me up. It sounded weird… like someone was trying to speak through a filter… whatever. There was wind coming through the windows, so I closed the curtains again, but that didn’t really help. I looked outside, but it was all just pitch black. Not much of a surprise. Whatever. I went back to sleep.

“Wake up!”

I woke up again at, like, 4 something. I heard that voice again. It was freezing in my room. I wen to the thermostat and the reading said 62 degrees.

What’s going on?

I went back to my room, and the nightlight was unplugged again. At least I had my phone this time. I plugged my nightlight back in and went to sleep.

I don’t remember what time it was. My room was pitch black again. Stupid nightlight. Why did it keep getting unplugged? I grabbed my phone and went over to the nightlight and well… it was plugged in. So the power went out.

Oh goody.

I walked out of my room to go get my laptop and send an email to my electricity company. My phone shook.

Low Battery Less than 3% remaining

It was just at 90%? Whatever. I walked through the pitch black hallways trying to find the office. Man, do I take sight for granted. I never know when I’m going to hit a wall. I stumbled around and found the door handle to the office door. I was too lazy to change this door handle to what all the rest are. I opened the door and felt my way around to the desk and found my laptop. I turned it on.

NO DAVID SHUT OFF THE COMPUTER GO BACK TO SLEEP

I shouldn’t have done that. My eyes had just adjusted to the dark. I felt my way back to my bedroom and went back to sleep.

I had a dream… I was trapped in my room. It came in. I couldn’t fight it. It walked towards me. I couldn’t move. It ripped my arm off. I couldn’t scream. It came closer.

I woke up. I don’t remember the time.

It was in the room with me.

After that, I blacked out. It’s all I remember. I don’t know what happened after that. Contact me if you know anything. I don’t know what that thing was. Please let me know. Goodbye.
