The room is dark
Shadows wait for their prey
Me
Whispers come from every corner
Fear tingles down my spine

My heart runs a marathon
I want to move but can't
The thing moves closer
Its breath is warm on my neck

The razor sharp teeth dig into my flesh
Searing pain races through me
A scream slams into my throat
I hold it back, not wanting it to show

My body burns as it rips me to pieces
A single tear falls down my check
My legs fail me
I fall

I lie there paralyzed
Waiting for the sweet relief of death
Unfortunately it never comes
I stay in pain forever

It eats at me
Tearing me apart from the inside
No way to escape
Guilt
