Part One Thunder clapped outside my bedrooms skylight, making the thin strip of frangible colored glass tremble so fiercely from the deafening sound I feared it would shatter overhead. Lightning was soon to follow it's companions example, raining down light along my pallid skin with every cracking strike against the heavens. As each burst of light crashed across the night sky, illuminating the darkened word and casting shadows of anomalous things that made my mind jumble with obscure ideas of what they could be, i found myself sinking further and further into the warm comfort of worn out cottom blanket that had long ago turn scratchy from age yet had managed to keep its vibrant color, it's blood red threads hanged of in meshed patches down my body as if dippicating a event soon to come into fruition. At one time the color had seemed beautiful now it only helped fule the terror that rocketed through to my very core leaving me a jumbled mess. Yet despite that I could never bring myslef to throw away my only source of contentment from a time when I wasn’t plagued by sleepless nights and terror filled dreams. I had cowered there in the confines of my caccon of delusional safty for what felt like an eternity. My half lidded eyes, heavy with sleep yet persistently staying open in the struggle to ward off any inclination of rest, and the nightmares that came along with it. The night had droned by at a snails pace until I had eventually managed to zone out the outside world's clammor, with only the insesant tick tock of my clock now filling my mind and making me all the more aware of each passing second as i gazed into the shadowed corners of my room wondering what wicked things lurked inside the darkest depth that my eyes could not see. As my toughts sank into a world unknown, sleep began to weigh down on me more then ever making my eyes blur and my toughts reeled with the threat of a nightmares soon to come. It was the sudden erruption of a blaring chime that had saved me from the horror that my mind would present. Srartled from the veil of sleep that wished to consume me, I felt my body leave my bed in a frightened jerk and the air hiss from my lungs in a relived sigh. The clock hand had struck twelve indicating that he would soon appear to torment me once more. I instinctively and somewhat frantically traced over ever darkened crevice of my room for the first sign of his upcoming arrival. Blood had begun rushing to my head until all i could hear was the frenzied pulse of my heart beat filling my ears. Each beat stuttered in my chest as it erattacly slamming against my ribcage in unristrained terror. Heavy beads of sweat line across my brow at the first sight of blackened goo oozing down the lenghth of my wall in a rancid mess for I knee he had just arrived.
