 I’m sans and this is A night in the dark

 Have you ever been left alone? i’m not talking for a couple minutes, I mean all alone in your house you see darkness dripping from every corner the chill in the room you feel when you know you’ve been left to fend for yourself ?

 You begin to notice the…...features of your home,every strange curve,noises,and creaks ,cracks in the floor …….so! You decide to lay down, get your mind off of the terrifying unknowns that are hiding in your house but suddenly BOOM BOOM BOOM!!!!! You hear the sound of slamming of the walls like explosions this as it would anyone rattles you, your mind argues whether to A: check it out or B: like a normal human being hid in your room and pass out.

 Now personally I would go for the former instead of the latter, but i think it’s safe to assume your choice differs from mine i suppose i’ll tell you how this subject came up.

 I lived in a small apartment you know the usual damp dark cockroach infested hole of a place i live with my mother who would’ve worked  herself into the grave ,she’d occasionally work till 4 in the morning

 I’m getting off track sorry…. One night i received a call from my mother “son it ’ll be a late night again don’t wait for me sleep well please?” I responded with a “alright see ya“. I hung up and the initial realization that i’ve got  the house to myself was amusing i’ve always loved being alone at home. At least till the event ……

 I was doing what any 15 year old teenager would do listening to crappy emo music along with playing computer games until I felt something i can’t explain it like a kind of warmth against the back of my neck I immediately turned around to see nothing but the veil of darkness thicker than ever. I dismiss this as my mind messing with my perceptions i decided to lay down in my bed after i whacked the cockroaches off of course disgusting pests.

 I layed down and dozed off here and there for some reason my mind wouldn't allow me to sleep i closed my eyes letting out a heavy sigh “such a pain “ i said letting out my teenage angst as i opened my eyes i saw...a figure shrouded in darkness i couldn’t make out many features other than it’s long arms and extended nails with a crimson tint to them. I-it’s eyes were bordered in black with  dim red pupils it felt like it was looking through my trying to gain some sort of knowledge about what it’s looking at.

 Now at this point i was frozen in fear i looked back into it’s eyes it tilted its head as did i, i got curious so i slowly got out of my bed crushing a cockroach under my foot i was too occupied with the strange creature to notice it as the creature stood the sun roof shining dim moon light upon the now standing creature i could see it’s mouth it had a sort of light grin just enough so i could see its razor sharp teeth, the end of which were blood soaked its arms reach to its knees its back was rigid if you were to feel its back you could feel every inch of its spin, i slowly and cautiously stepped forward it did the same it's dangled as it stepped swinging side to side like a man who had had a little too much of the drink.

 The light now revealing its pale leathery skin. I proceeded to walk towards it we met in the middle but at a safe enough distance to where it attempted to attack me i’d have the door behind me as an escape route i looked at it and decided to reach out my hand in an effort to make a gesture of kindness, it reached out and touched my hand with its cold hand it smiled as did i ,it then opened its mouth in an effort to speak only one word escaped from its gravelly raspy voice “r-run” i immediately let go of its hand and ran out i wasn’t going to argue with it but as i left i saw something that chilled me even more than the creature,the look in its eyes was not of hatred or gloom but pure unadulterated fear as its grin faded i closed the door and as soon as i did i heard….a hellish scream one of utter terror and pain imagine nails against a chalk board and the typical horror movie male scream and multiply it by 20.

 I heard crashes and slams from outside i put my ear to the door as i did the door bounced me back as something hit against it after an hour it went silent not a sound escaped from the apartment i slowly turned the doorknob terrified on what i’d see i opened the door to my undamaged home i looked around for the creature but to no avail it was nowhere to be found…..and to this day i wonder if it was my mind fooling me or it actually happened  and i wonder what that creature was so terrified about.
