There is one window in my room.

It's on the wall directly behind me as my computer monitor is opposite the window. I've been sitting here alone in the dark at my computer reading ghost stories and watching horror videos all night, hunting for more unnerving subject matter, trying to spook myself. I was just now reading my way through this story situation I've posted, Kisaragi Station. Read it.

About halfway through, there is a quote from someone referencing how the story is just getting to the scary part. As I read the sentence "Here's where it gets going..." there was a loud grating slam coming from the wall behind my head.

I jumped about a kilometre out of my skin. When I turned to look, my blinds are open, the window is open, and it's dark.

It sounded like someone banging against the screen on my window.

I took a few deep breaths to calm myself down as my heart was really racing. I stood up and I looked outside. I felt a little foolish for winding myself up so far, but even still I tried to stay completely silent as I crept towards my window, slowly getting my face closer as closer to the window, arcing my vision around to see who or what might have been banging on my screen.

After a few moments, I exhaled.
