The bedroom is a crypt of shadows at three in the morning, the only sound the relentless, mocking tick of the clock counting your insomnia. The air hangs thick with the scent of dust and the bitter, metallic aftertaste of failed sleeping pills. A heavy thump fractures the silence. The closet door groans open, followed by a wet, dragging sound across the carpet. Something large, grey, and skeletal hauls itself onto the mattress with a shudder. His grin is a crescent of bone, his eyes like pits of void, his arms grotesquely elongated, his ribs stark beneath cold, bumpy skin. He tilts his head, a low growl rumbling up from his throat, and fixes you with an unblinking, depthless stare.
