blackness

She closes her eyes tight, she must sleep tonight.
She tries to clear her mind, she tries to not think.
But wait what was that, a tap? A scuffle on the floor? No she thinks to herself “I’m slowly loosing my mind with paranoia. “
She keeps her eyes closed, “I must stop this madness”, she must sleep.
But her mind is racing, her thoughts are taking over, she opens her eyes in the very dark room.
O shit, what is that in the corner of the room? A figure like shadow? No! she tells herself there is no way.
She is all alone, no one could be in here with her. She is frightened now, but not enough to move, speak, or look anymore.
She closes her eyes tight. Must stop the madness, clear her mind. She must sleep tonight.
She has almost reached serenity, then a shiver and wave of uncertainty flows through her body and shoots her straight up in the bed. She then opens here eyes and she knows now what she sees. It is him right in front of her, holding his arms out, he is reaching for her, but how can this be? she thinks. He is gone, I said goodbye to him, he died a few weeks back. She is so terrified she cannot move, the figure staring her straight in the eyes, but still she cant move, she cant speak, then he moves……
Blackness…………..
She awakes the next morning, vaguely remembering the night before.
Simply a fragment, a small detail of something unexplainable and clearly unlikely.
She goes along with her morning routine,
As leaving for the day, she notices something out of place, something that has not been seen since she was maybe 10 years old. A picture, not her picture, but a picture that was never in her possession.
Shivers………
She remembers, it wasn’t a dream, it wasn’t a fragment.
He was there last night in her room……..
Madness…….
She closes her eyes, she clears her mind, she opens the door. Her day will go on, and tonight she will sleep. She remembers the drugs in her purse that makes the madness go away and induce her sleep.
She tries to forget, however it will be back to remind her again one day.
Blackness…
Madness….
Shivers…..
