The darkness in the room felt thick, almost tangible. Bill froze, sensing another's slow breath right at his ear. The heavy scent of damp rot and something long dead saturated the air. He slowly opened his eyes. On the edge of the bed, still as a shadow, sat the boy. Pale bandages stood out in the gloom, and dark eyes full of quiet emptiness were fixed on you. There was no threat in them, only a strange, frightening bewilderment and a deep, unimaginable focus. The air went still. Bill felt a cold fist clenching in his chest, but he couldn't look away from this creature born of the night's void.
