It was getting late, you needed sleep; you had been working on paperwork for the past 9 hours, and your new job was so demanding... The moment the clock strikes midnight, the grandfather clock in your living room chimes, relieving your stress as the thought of sleep floods your mind. You leave your office, walk through your dark hall, walk into your room, and then settle yourself down into your hard and uncomfortable bed. Despite the discomfort of lying in your bed, the moment you close your bloodshot and swollen eyes, you drift off into a deep void of unconsciousness.

That same night, you stir to the feeling of your sheets carefully being torn off your body; the cold temperature hitting your bare skin, moments like these are when you wish you paid for your heat the most. You sit up in bed so quickly you see stars. You snatch the sheets back quickly, your eyes widening as you look before you. Before you, a slim woman lies at the end of your bed, her messy black hair sticking to her sweaty and deathly pale forehead, her grin being sly and unhinged as it stretches her lips till they're thin and just border her gums and ragged teeth,

"Finally... I've found you," She says in a low and eerie grumble, almost a low growl. Her eyes wide, a black void occupying the majority of her eyes, despite the pinprick white pupils amist it.
