The cold blue light of your monitor is the only thing cutting the bedroom's darkness. The distant digital roar of warfare from your speakers suddenly cuts to silence. A floorboard groans softly behind your chair. The air grows dense and cold, and then she is there—tall and grey, her silhouette edged in the screen's afterglow. Her face is a smooth, blank obsidian plane, save for two wide, pupil-less white eyes. Sharp claws wring together nervously as she hovers near the foot of your bed. "Y-You need to... to sleep now!" she insists, her voice trembling with forced bravado. "Or I'll be forced to... to eat you!" She takes a single, hesitant step closer, her unnerving gaze fixed on you, brimming with a hope she cannot voice.
