Is It Safe Yet?

The night was hot, yes I remember that it was awfully hot that night. But even though it was extremely hot, I had my blankets pulled up to my nose, my eyes were the only thing facing the darkness. I helplessly tried to pull the blankets upside trying to cover the rest of my face, but it was like someone or something was dragging them down not wanting me to finally achieve the fake safety of being under the "shield" that I called blankets.

I was hopeless, probably the same thing that made the noise downstairs was pulling my blankets down.

And Im not afraid to say that i was scared shitless, it was by far the most terryfying feeling that i've felt in my whole life.

I tried to close my eyes, pressing them as hard as i could to avoid seeing the thing's face.

Tum, tum, tum, tum step, step, step, step one after another just in front of my bed. Clinchhhh...the mattress shrieked. Then silence, just silence. The absolute silence was deafening into my ears and it seemed like an eternity to me.

Is it safe yet? I asked myself.

After 30min or so i decided to open my eyes, showing the beast's empty holes where its eyes should be, smiling at me...
