300 words (not including title) Little Black Foot ___________________________________________________________________________________ A small child laid in his bed to sleep, window behind his head, with his television on in front of him. The television was off, the remote was at the end of his bed, and his door was on the right side of it. He laid in the bed with his eyes closed, attempting to clear his mind of all thoughts to fall asleep faster.


 * ting*

A knocking sound came from the window behind his head. Pulling the blanket over his eyes, he tried to ignore the sound.


 * ting*

The knocking on the glass returned, sounding exactly the same as before. Moving the blanket to create a small area to see through, he saw that nothing was at his window.


 * thump*

A knocking sound echoed from the door, as the hallway light on the other side turned on. The small, black shadow of a single foot was made on the other side of the door by the light, and the noise sounded again.


 * thump*

Nervous and curious, the small child hardly could force the strength to mutter three words.

"Hello? Who's there?"

The room grew silent for a few seconds, before the hall light flicked off, and the small child turned on the television for a source of light with the remote he kept by his bed, keeping the volume off, of course. The small child started to fade away surprisingly, and drifted off to sleep.

The child woke up what seemed like an eternity later, fully rested. The television was off, and all light was gone from the room. In a burst of confidence, he knocked once on the window.


 * ting*

He waited patiently for a response..


 * thump*

The noise came from the end of the bed. When he turned his head to it, all he saw were teeth.
