There was no one in sight . Confused , I got out of bed and reached for my robe nearby.
I heard the knock again but this time , it was loud and distinct.
"Hello?" I said. It was eeriely quiet now. I moved closer to the window .
My face was inches away from it inspecting. Then a loud slam on the window startled me and I backed away. I could tell where it came from because a distinctive handprint was fading away.
Then something started writing on the window panel.
"Let me in".
Tap , tap, tap.
It's back again tonight. Its been here for the last week.
I recently moved to a new place.
The space is fairly huge and has a high ceiling with white walls plastered all around me.
The echo within is quite atrocious for my taste.
About a week ago, I was getting ready for bed. I did my night routine, slipped out of my gown and felt the warm comforter against my bare skin.
It was inviting and its threads wrapped around me like an embrace.
As I start to drift, I heard a soft tap on my window. At first I though it just a branch brushing against the glass from the wind. When I opened my eyes, I felt a dread spread into my chest. The outside was calm and they was no wind howling .
Then I saw it .
