a flash of memories came flooding towards me as soon as i saw his picture on the bedside table. "when will this ever end?!", i muttered to myself in exasperation. just then, there was a rapping knock on my door. my senses tingled and i immediately reacted to the sound. i know my neighborhood too well. nobody would be brave enough to disturb me that much, not in this time of night.i walked to the door as quietly as i can and braced myself for whatever lies behind it. "shit! i hate surprises. this kind of tension is killing me"...i raised my arm in a futile attempt to turn the knob. with all my might i tried to fight the terror that was slowly creeping its way inside of me. just then a breeze swept through my entire body, numbing all my senses until what's left of me is but a rigid corpse clinging on the doorknob for dear life. i knew something was off. with all the strength i could possible muster, i started pacing backwards away from the door. whatever it is must have heard me because as soon as i was getting ready to put my foot a step behind of me, the rasping grew louder. louder and louder it went, each moment more vicious than the previous.i staggered onto my feet. "i had to run, get away from here as fast as i can"... what used to be just a few steps to my room seemed like miles from where i was at. a wave of realization washed all of what little courage i had left from me. and then there was silence from behind me. the cold night air against my back paralyzed me. i was scared to look back but i know i had to. i slowly inclined my head to the direction of the door and the sight that met me knocked the living daylights out of me....
Gosh! this post is so amateurish! XD
