Breathe in. Breathe out. Breathe in. Breathe out.

Keep everything normal, and for Gods sake, keep your eyes closed.

Breathe in. Breathe out. Breathe in.

It makes sounds from the corner of the room, you let the air out in a frightened cough.

Breathe in. Breathe out.

It knows you’re aware of it. Keep your eyes closed.

Breathe in.

A whimper escapes your throat as you hear it move towards your bed. You feel a wave of hot, rotten, smelling air over your face.

Just keep your eyes closed.

It’d probably be best not to breathe.
