Shadow Over Darkness

This story is about what happened to me last night. I was in my room getting ready to go to bed when all of a sudden a shadow pass through the hallway. I noticed it when I turned around in the last second. The last time I saw a shadow like that, is when I was a little boy. Can it be the same shadow I wonder?

I couldn't fall asleep, but eventually did. Then I woke up in the middle of a nightmare. There was the shadow floating over me hissing and trying to touch me. I don't if I was half asleep or not, but it seemed too real for words. It had no face, long arms that took shape, and blacker than oil. It was like the angel of death taking my very soul. (Of course, I'm being melodramatic.) I thought it was a dream, so I just closed my eyes hoping it would go away. Luckily, it was gone for about 3 minute's tops. I was wide awake after that. I still heard the hissing sound though. It was not gone at all. Typing this gives me the chills, because what I'm about to tell you it's kind of personal.

I remember this figure when I was a child. It's a demon! The same demon that was in my story "Tapping". It was standing in the hallway staring at me and giving me a huge grin. I told it to go away, in my mind. (Didn't want to wake up my grandparent's.) That pathetic demon left for now. It knows what's in my mind, but it doesn't know my heart. I kept saying that all night! It never returned, after that. I have to wait until tonight, I guess! I hate falling asleep now!
