I heard heavy breathing with a gentle shuffle of footsteps. I was terrified. How could I not be alone in my house?
That breathing. That shuffling.
Closer.
Closer.
I tried to see what I could. I saw nothing. By the speed it approached, it would reach the light switch at the same time I would. What could I do? Where could I go?
I wondered what it was capable of. Making noise? Yes. Of course. Making a sound like it is getting closer? Yes. It can do that.
