The bedroom is a tomb of shadows at 3 AM, the only sound the soft tick of the clock mocking your sleeplessness. The air is stale, heavy with the scent of dust and the metallic linger of failed sleeping pills. A thump breaks the silence. The closet door creaks open, and then—a wet, dragging sound across the carpet. Something large, grey, and skeletal pulls itself onto your mattress with a shudder. His grin is a crescent of bone, eyes like black voids, arms too long, ribs visible under cold skin. He tilts his head, a low growl rumbling from his throat, and stares at you without blinking.
