I wake up to a feeling that I am not alone - my pulse racing and my brow and back acrid with sweat. I look around wildly, not knowing where I am, only that something has been watching me as I slumbered. Then, sanity returns, gripping and steadying me, racing to assemble the jigsaw of my own thoughts.

I am in my bedroom. It's three in the morning and I have been asleep, dreaming. A nightmare, a terrifying nightmare, but that is all that it is. Inhaling deeply, I try to calm myself.

The room is chilly and full of darkness, as I lay listening to my decelerating heartbeat. The black iron-posts outside shone through the window, casting dim yellow contorted shapes across the bare wooden floor. At night, the room seems larger somehow, as if the walls are breathing in, caving in. I shuck my blanket and stir, listening to the creaks of the house, the settling boards and pipes before I become suddenly aware of being horribly and terribly alone. Not just now, not just because the house is empty; instead, it is something that swamped me and promised to stay. I feel a deep sinking feeling in my stomach, and I want to curl into my bed and sob.

Perhaps I slept, perhaps not. It is difficult to tell. I could not tell whether I have truly dreamed or whether I have only drowsed until my eyes open again with a jolt of alarm.

Something is up there, on the ceiling of my bedroom.

My chest freezes in panic. The room has darkeded, I am sure of it, the shadows thickening until they choke out the light, and the temperature has fallen to the point where my breath is in rapid clouds. But even in the darkness, I can see the deeper shadow, the vast thing that stands at the foot of my bed and bends over me, pressing against the ceiling, a clot of congealed dark that oozes malevolence. It is impossibly tall, an undefined, faceless, looming presence, motionless, paralyzing me with fear.

It is not there! something inside me screams, my rational mind pounding frantically in my head. It is just a shadow!

But it is there, and it radiates evil so thick that I feel I might gag on it; the thing with no shape and no form, yet I can feel its eyes, staring at me unflinchingly, regarding me with a dead gaze.

I am hardly even aware that my hands are scrambling for the matchbox that lay on the bedside table, kept there to light the vanilla-scented candle nearby. I do not dare to look away from the swarming blackness above me, fearing that the moment I do, it will descend on me like a shroud and I-

A crack and hiss of the match break the spell, the small glow of light driving back the dark as I thrust the lighted match towards the ceiling. There is nothing there, but still, my racing heart can not be stilled, for etched on the ceiling is a line in black gooey mess that spells: I am under your bed.

Sincerely,
Lukas

Bru, Count its Words not its Characters.

 

I thought characters is just another fancy way of saying words. But I get your sentiment. Fixed it.

 

what he means is you are counting the number of letters/numbers/spaces in the story, not the number of words that it contains, no way is that almost 3k words. What it actually is, is 525 words not 2700+.

 

Lol. I've never used those software, thus the confusion. Thanks for the heads up.

Want to play?

The Malone family couldn’t believe what a great deal they got on their new house. Located at the end of a cul-de-sac, it had four bedrooms and a large family room with big picture windows. The best feature of the house was the large backyard. There was even a swing set and sandbox for Tommy, their five-year-old boy.

“Mum, can I play outside?” Tommy asked as soon as the movers had left.

Mrs. Malone was busy unpacking and re-arranging furniture. “Okay,” she said. “But stay where I can see you. Over there by the sandbox and swing set.”

Tommy ran outside into the hot summer sun. It was July and the weather was perfect for playing outside. Hot, but not too hot, with no wind at all. One of the swings was swinging by itself but Tommy didn’t put any thought in it. He jumped in the sandbox and started digging with his shovel that his dad had bought him.

“Hi, do you want to play with me?”

Tommy jumped at the voice behind him; he hadn’t seen anyone in the yard a second ago. Now there was a young boy about his age standing there. The boy was dressed strangely to Tommy but he didn’t care, he was just happy that someone wanted to play. Moving was scary and Tommy had been nervous he would have a hard time making new friends.

“Sure, you can play in the sandbox with me.” Tommy told his new friend.

“My name is James, what’s your name?”

“I’m Tommy. You live near here? We just moved in today!”

“I saw you moving,” said James. “I haven’t seen any kids here for a very long time. I’m so happy to have someone to play with.”

James and Tommy played in the sandbox and then swung on the swing set. Tommy was jealous about how high James got his swing to go. He tried harder and harder but couldn’t swing as high as his new friend. Mrs. Malone looked out the window and saw how high Tommy was swinging. Alarmed, she ran outside and told him to come in.

“I’ve got to go, I’ll see you later James!” Tommy ran happily into the house where his angry Mum scolded him for not being more careful on the swing set.

“You can get hurt by swinging too high! You need to be careful Tommy. Otherwise your father and I won’t let you play on the swing unless we are out there with you.”

“Sorry Mum. I was just trying to go as high as James.”

“Who is James? Is he a new friend?” Mrs. Malone was familiar with Tommy’s imaginary friends.

“Yes, he’s really cool and likes to play. I just wanted to swing as high as him. I’ll be more careful next time.”

Mrs. Malone accepted the apology and sent Tommy off to clean up for dinner. She was making hamburgers and kept thinking about the swing set. She had been so worried about Tommy that she couldn’t say for sure, but had the second swing been swinging also? It couldn’t have been since there was no wind and Tommy was outside all by himself.

Tommy ran down the long, wooden staircase excited about his Mum’s homemade hamburgers. He saw James through the window waving him outside and he forgot all about dinner. Instead he slipped out the front door to see what his new friend wanted.

“I want to show you something,” James said leading Tommy along the side of the house and into a clump of bushes. There was a rotten old door set in the ground. “That leads to the old coal storage for the house. Open it up, I want to show you what’s down there.”

Tommy pulled on the heavy rotted door but it wouldn’t budge. He tugged harder and harder, finally it started to open when he heard his Mum yelling. “Tommy, what are you doing out there? Come inside this instant!”

James was nowhere in sight and his Mum was angry, Tommy tried to explain but his Mum didn’t want to hear it. “Stay away from that storage room. It is very old and hasn’t been used in over twenty years. Who knows what is down there!”

Mr. Malone was also unhappy with Tommy. When Tommy tried to explain that his friend James wanted to show him something, Mr. Malone forbid him from playing with James anymore. “Snuffles and Rags are nice friends; they don’t get you in trouble. I don’t want you spending time with this James anymore,” he said. Snuffles and Rags were Tommy’s imaginary friends; he tried to explain that James was real but his parents didn’t want to hear it and sent him to bed after dinner.

Tommy was awoken that night by someone shaking him. He jumped when he saw that it was James, still wearing the peculiar old clothes he had on that afternoon. “Tommy, your parents are asleep. Come outside, I need to show you what’s in the old coal storage.”

“How did you get in my room? You need to leave, I’m in trouble and my parents don’t want me to play with you anymore.”

“You won’t play with me?” James asked with a hurt look on his face.

“I can’t. Maybe once they calm down I can but now I can’t. And you can’t sneak into my room in the middle of the night.”

“You won’t play with me?” James repeated. “How dare you! This is my room and I let you stay here because I thought you would play with me. Do you know how long it has been since a kid lived here? Do you know how long I’ve been waiting for someone to play with?”

Tommy was scared and yelled for his parents. James grabbed him with icy cold hands and covered his mouth. Tommy tried to fight, tried to get to the door and make it to his parent’s room but James was too strong. James wrapped his cold hands around Tommy’s neck and squeezed. Tommy couldn’t breathe, where were his Mummy and daddy? Why was James doing this? He tried calling out again but couldn’t get any words out. He was so cold. Hurry Mummy and daddy, I need you…

-----

The Osborn’s were excited about their first new house. A big selling point had been the large backyard which their little boy Alan would love. Mrs. Osborn told Alan it was okay to go and play on the swings while the movers were finishing up.

Alan excitedly ran out past the small sandbox to the swing set. He was about to jump on the swing when he heard a voice behind him. “Hi, what’s your name?”

“I’m Alan,” he said turning to see two little boys around his age. One was dressed normally but the other boy wore peculiar old fashioned clothes. “Who are you?”

“I’m James, this is Tommy. Want to play with us?”

As a single working mom her life was a bit harried but she took it all in stride. Life was good and she loved her son John more than anything else in the world. He was her raison d’être (ray-zohnn DET-ruh).
When John was just an infant he sucked his thumb. By age two he became attached to the silky edge of his baby blanket. Rather than carry that heavy blanket everywhere mom made silky toy by wrapping silky white fabric around a soft rubber ball and securing it with a rubber band (like a Halloween decoration.)
John immediately became attached to his “Ghostie.”
One advantage to Ghostie was he could easily be remade in case he disappeared.
When John was about three years old mom made plans to eat at her favorite restaurant Michael J’s. It was not often they could afford to go out but you have to treat yourself once in awhile. She made sure John was well rested so there would be no fussiness in public. John invited Ghostie to dinner and Ghostie accepted of course. Even though he was never hungry.
It was a fine meal – cheeseburgers and ice cream all around.
With bellies full and the sun sinking below the horizon, mom strapped John into his car seat and home they went.
About five miles down the road John asked, “where’s Ghostie?”
“Oh no! We must have left him at Michael J’s!”
Mom quickly turned the car around.
Back at the restaurant they both marched up to the man standing at the little podium and asked in unison, “have you seen a Ghost?”
As the blood drained from the man’s face a waitress overheard and came running over Ghostie in hand. “I knew you’d be back,” she said with a smile.
