“Why... why are you here?” He managed to choke out. As the shadowy figure started slithering towards him, the room began to fill with incessant humming sounds.

He closed his eyes and kept thinking that he was imagining it all. But as he reopened his eyes, he was startled to find the glowing red eyes just five feet away from where he stood. At that moment, he was frozen with horror. “Move you idiot.” He whispered under his breath as he locked eyes with the figure. He closed his eyes once more in fear of finding out what the figure looked like.

He opened his eyes and found himself back in his room. “Phew! It was just a dream.” He thought. Just as he took a sigh a relief he heard a menacing laugh, followed by the sight of the walls of his room melting. The boy screamed in horror.

The scream became distant by the second and then there was only silence.
