Phones are ringing inside my head
Are they trying to tell me something?
Warn me?
Timers ticking
Tick, tick, tick
Are they counting off the time for something?
Perhaps the time I'm supposed to leave this place?
I don't get it
I'm listening to music on my stereo
It gets louder
But I didn't touch it
My legs are shaking
But I'm not making them move
A horn is blowing in my ear
I turn
Nothings there
Someone's banging on my wall
But I know no one is on the other side
Have I gone crazy?
It's the only logical explanation
Suddenly everything stops
Only my music plays at its regular volume
Then another sound comes to my ears
A musical tune
Alone
Scary and childish
Strange beats
Soft
Hard to catch
Making a song
Getting faster
And faster
And faster
And stops
My music is still on
A light appears and disappears in the corner of my eye
Like a lightning flash
Fake shadows move as I watch them
A pink spot appears on my white lamp
With a blink
It is gone
I feel like someone
Something
Is somehow watching me
I look around
The pink spot returns
Then goes away
Phones ringing again
Why won't they stop?
Different phones
All at once
They're all so loud
Is someone behind me?
I'm too afraid to check
I feel a wind
But my windows are closed
Eyes are on me
I feel them
They're making the back of my head ache
Frightened
Tears stream down my cheeks
Someone help me
I'm becoming numb
I hear it again
Whoever it is
It's trying to get in
Trying to get me
Its moaning
Screeching
I feel it breathing down the back of my neck
I jump off my bed
And run to the door
Is it fallowing me with its eyes?
I can picture it in my head
A human-like creature
Green
Sitting like a dog
Watching me
Listening to my footsteps with its large sharp ears
In front of the open window
On the head of my bed
Red eyes and all
I finally reach the door
It screeches again
I'm so scared
Get me out of here!
I turn around
Towards the window
Toward the object of my fear
Nothing
Nothing is there
Just my window and bed
I leave the room
Nuthouse
Here I come
