I stand there, my eyes locked on the black cat.

She meows at something in the window, and I look.

I see a dark shadow rushing towards me and I let out a shriek of terror, and get slammed backward into a bookcase as it crouches over me.

I squint my eyes to see the strange figure peering at me.

“I’ve been feeling so alone, trapped in my mind. I’ve been dying inside, Kyla. I really need help.” It snarls as I feel a sharp burning across my throat.

It sprints away as I claw at my throat, struggling to breathe.
