Mako wakes from his deep sleep, he could hear the feint but heavy breathing of someone or something in the room with him. His swift imagination made the shadows of the dark room jump around. A loud thud startled him. He felt the thud vibrate through the wood of his bed. A shiver ran down his spine as he glance over the side of his bed. He saw something retreat back under the bed. Goosebumps covered his entire body as he kicked the covers up and leaned his head all the way over the side of the bed. His eyes strained to see through the darkness under the bed. A dark brown, skeletonized hand shot out of the darkness and pierced through his left eye socket. He was unable to scream as the hand gripped the inside of his head and pulled him into the darkness under the bed. The crunching of bone and tearing of flesh echoed through the small space under the bed.
