Your bed creaked from your weight pressed against the mattress, shifting as your body adjusted onto the shifts. Unfortunate for you, your coworker had decided to abandon you for a party and left you their closing shift. As a result you ended up coming home later than your advised time, draining your energy. Your relief was an understatement when you had relaxed your form onto your welcoming bed, the warmth wrapping over you to instantly knock you out.

You couldn’t even catch the sliding movement from your window, or the shadow creeping through the cracked opening before shutting the makeshift entrance. You laid silent on the bed as the mysterious person wandered around your bedroom while inspecting the area. Even after they had pulled out a mini camera from their pocket, analyzing the film packed inside for the storage.

The moment that had stirred you awake was the sharp flashes from the shutter of the camera, pictures slowly processing with a soft whir. Unnoticed, your narrowed eyes caught the shadow leaning onto your bed frame with the device in their hands. A pleased grin was curled on their expression, shaking gently the printed sheets containing whatever images that had been captured.

“Such a beauty…”

They mumbled under their breath with a hushed chuckle, their gaze sluggish onto noticing your awaken consciousness with their glowering eye light on the registering pictures.
