Where The Cobwebs Should Be . . .
**DISCLAIMER** This is my first actual written work on here! Be aware that I m a y have made errors in spelling and/or grammer in one or more areas! Some areas may come off as rushed, as well. Nonetheless, I hope you enjoy this little flick of mine!
I thank my bitter half-mother for being a heavy sleeper at this time. I don't know how anyone could sleep on that damned couch with the embroidery on it. Although, I just might get away with it this time . . .
My deprived eyes see my little cousin's aura on the screen before my savvy thumb shifts over to it.
My thumb just hovers over it. Because the air in the dark, downstairs room has shifted to something frigid. Because my eyes, as neglected and as they are, can see It's face in the dark reflection of my endlessly cracked screen.
It's behind the chair I'm sitting in.
The face of It is shuddering. It's shuddering, and yet everything else about it is as catonic as the structure of our house. Just that same void expression, and this faint static tune that'll inevitably increase.
The familiar weight in my entire being comes over me again. It's this utter fear and dread in me that occurred the last time I had seen it, and even the time before that. It has long been the most unsettling of deaths of me - or, perhaps, the me that was long before.
I close my eyes and suck in the chilled temperature and look to a corner of the ceiling.
Another corner - I blink,
It's getting loud in my ears, now - tears in my eyes, now-
it's gone. It's left me alone again.
No more static to hear. No more incoming doom to possess me. O n l y . . .
. . . all four corners of the downstairs ceiling, and there were no cobwebs to see. As my chest heaves in the remaining chill in the room, I would rather the little legged life forms be there, couped where they would accompany me through the last few dire moments...a t a d i s t a n c e .
...And I d o n ' t want to think too much on one particular possibility...
All is quiet. No more static to hear.
I know my bed will still be in one place by 1.
