Splat

The most terrifying thing happened to me earlier tonight. I decided to post it here because I’m not sure where else I should. So I was getting ready for bed and was on my phone for a little while. As I started to nod off, though I heard this skittering noise in my room. This freaked me out because I live alone.

When I heard this noise I bolted upright in bed. All tiredness I felt was wiped away with the adrenaline that was coursing through me. I tried looking around for the intruder but couldn’t see them since it was dark. I used my phone’s flashlight app to scan the room. I only glimpsed one of its stick-like legs before it skittered into the hall.

I debated with myself on whether or not to do something about it. On one hand, I didn’t want to go near it. On the other, if I didn’t it wouldn’t go away. Eventually, I decided to go after it. I knew sleep would elude me with the knowledge this disgusting creature was in the same house as me.

I couldn’t allow that. I jumped out of bed and went over to turn on my bedroom light. The brightness of it hurt my eyes but I ignored it as I looked for some kind of weapon. I was able to find one in my closet. Once I had it in hand I yanked open my bedroom door.

Although the light of my room illuminated the hall, it was still pretty dim. Once again I scanned the area using my phone’s flashlight. I still couldn’t find it…
