Afraid

''A floorboard creaks underneath my foot. I freeze, tensing up, sure that I must've alerted something to my presence. I stay frigid with fear for atleast a full minute, until I'm sure that nothing has heard me yet. I breathe out in relief, slowly continuing my journey down the long hallway. The house seemed empty, but I knew better. I could feel it, that strange heaviness of the air, like someone was constantly breathing on my back. I shiver rolled down my spine as I reach that dark door at the end of the hallway. It is a dark brown, with a menacing face carved into the wood. The face is twisted into a grimace, and it has a feral look, as if it would be growling at me. I take a deep breath, knowing that this is it. Something is going to find me after I open this door. My hand grasps the cold doorknob, palms sweaty. I turn it slowly, and the door creaks open. My breath catches in my chest when I see what's on the other side. It rocks slowly on the floor, back and forth, head shaking. I am frozen with fear. I cannot move. It stops. Slowly, its head turns to face me. Its face is sunken, skin gray and peeling. It is clutching a teddy bear in its hands. Its hand raises to point over my shoulder. Only now do I realize that the air has gone even more heavy. I also realize that the boy in front of me is not what I should be afraid of. ''
