One night we woke up in our hotel room and after a few minutes of tossing and turning we got out of our bed. We saw that it was 1:30, but decided to get dressed despite the early hour. We turned on the TV to pass the time until we were tired again, but all we got was a black screen regardless of the channel. We assumed that something must be wrong with the cable but were too lazy to investigate further.

We nearly did fall back asleep but then we felt a dire need to do an act we soon regretted, as if we were being controlled, we through open the curtains. We revealed it, a pitch-black creature. The head was a crescent shape with two large white circles that seemed like vortexes, and a humanoid body about the same size as a normal person.

Yet we could tell that it was not floating somehow, that its legs where some how long enough to reach up to the 5th floor. Then its red sliver of a smile slips onto its face, now making the vortexes look like eyes. We felt a sense of foreboding in our very essence.

We blinked as we back away, but as our eyes opened we realized that it too had backed of a good distance and we could tell we were right about its legs and that its arms were just as long. As we blinked again, and then its hands were on the window, it somehow stood out to us how inhumanly thin its limbs were, before we heard the glass groan as if trying to resist an immense pressure.

The only thing our fear stricken mind could do was to rush our body into the bathroom, and lock our self in. Not even a moment passed before we heard the glass shatter. A moment of silence passed before it was interrupted by a series of sickening cracking sounds. Then we heard it again as the door vainly groaned against an unstoppable force.

Once the door collapsed two skeletal hands entered and found us with ease. We struggled as we were pulled around the wall that made the bathrooms alcove. Once we could see it again we gave up and noticed even more the coldness of the creatures flesh. We also noticed how it seems almost like it was a drawing that had escaped its picture to become real.

As we were drawn closer the red silver enlarged and morphed the head until it was a large swirling funnel of red. As we came to a stop in front of it we felt our self sucked in and we were no longer one, but part of many. As we felt the great joy of our newfound wholeness. We tilted our head in curiosity, as we felt empty again. We wondered for a moment on how to fill our selves once more, and then we laughed, as we knew the obvious answer.

We heard a prey scream, but it was no matter to us. We could let the prey run and scream all they wanted. In the end be they man, beast, or monster we will devour them all.
