The thunderstorm still rumbled outside but now was far off into the distance from Nicole’s house. Restless dreams troubled her as she tossed and turned.

Her lungs began to pain as she realized she had been holding her breath the whole time. She inhaled deeply and chided herself for being scared. Nicole reached over to pick up her phone to see what time it was; 2:18 a.m. Out loud she said, “This is going to be a long night.” The radio was still on and softly playing music. She began to set her phone back down when she glanced at the window. There, for a whisper of a second, she saw a dark misty shape that resembled a shadowy face staring back at her. A loud scream escaped her throat as she jumped up and ran towards the hall, still clutching her phone in her hand. She dialed 911 as she slammed the bathroom door
