I lie on the bed and stare at the ceiling. They are coming. The experiments at the lab revealed the creatures that live in the shadows; I saw them, and they saw me. Now, I sleep with the lights on.
The power cut strikes without warning. I light as many candles as I can, but dark fingers writhe and reach for me. They touch my skin with their icy grasp. They crawl from under the bed to silence me. They smother me with their pestilence. I try to scream but cannot.
The power returns. I gasp. I live -- for now.
