The Shadow in My Closet
Every night, when the sun sets and darkness creep across my room, a feeling of unease washes over me. I can't ignore this strange feeling that something is staring me from the back of my closet. I know it's just my imagination, but the idea lingers in the back of my head.
Sometimes, when I close my peepers, I can almost feel its presence on my neck. It's a shivering sensation that makes me want to cry. I try to distract myself with books, but the terror always creeps back in. I know I should just deal with it, but my heart pounds so loud that all I can do is hide under my sheets.
