On a cold winter night a man lay sleeping. A cold breeze blows through the man's opened window by the foot of his bed,Gently tickling his toes. The man feeling the cold breeze against his foot pushes some of his blanket toward his bare foot covering it up. With his foot covered no longer feeling the cold breeze he drift back to sleep to only hear a gentle taping coming from the foot of his bed. The man only slitly opens his eye scanning his room not seeing anything but noticing something out of place by his desk in the back corner of the room. He stared for a bit not knowing what it could be as he started to slept back to sleep. As the man slept his closets door began to drift open as the wind it self was moving it when a sharp sqeaky sound came from the doors hinges waking the man from his slumber. As the man began to wake he had notice his body felt as if something has tied him down with thick heavy chains .he tried with all his strength but it felt as if the force of the world's ocean's were holding him down. The man with caution in his eyes looks around his room feeling anxiety building as his eyes fell upon his closet not remembering if he had left his closet open or not. His anxiety slowly growing to unease as the tapping form earlier began again. His eyes darting to the desk not sure of what he sees. A fuzzy distorted figure lingering in the shadows by his desk. The eyes of the man flew open locking on to the figure,his unease growing into panic. He tried moving once more more but his body felt like stone at the bottom of a lake. The figure creeping ever so slowly his figure becoming ever so visible under the moonlight peering in from the window. It finger showing a plane white creature covered in a darkness that drapes over him like cloth it waving with the gentle breeze. It reaches it's long slender arm grabbing the foot of the bed pulling and stepping his way ever closer. As the creature approached, sweat as cold as ice fell down the man's head his breathing starting to grow slightly quicker. The figure with his other hand pulled the cloth covering his head revealing a flawless golden and bronze mask inlaid with constellation form a universe un know.The man's heart beating so fast his ribs started to shake . The figure moving ever closer creeping his way up the bed .the man shuts his eyes feeling the presence of the creature over his body. When suddenly there was no sound the man could not hear a thing not sound of the cold breeze of the bumping of his heart. The man's thoughts began to run wild shrouding his mind in a void of darkness . The darkness consumed the man until it felt as if he was floating in the ocean. When a soft and warm light fade in . The man reached for the light feeling it's gentle warm embrace wrapping its self around his body lefting him up. The man's eyes open suddenly seeing its morning the warm light sedling in the widow. The man pulls his covers back wiping his forehead saying "Another dreadful night".
