You can't take anymore of this. You high tail out of there as fast as
you can. Your heart is beeting fast as you reach the doorway out to
the hall. You pull it open and race out. You don't turn around but can
feel someones eyes following you. You run faster, taking the stairs
three at a time. When you reach your door you open it then slam it
shut. You wait on the other side, holding it closed with your body for
several minutes. Whatever was down there you didn't want to get in.
Finally you turn and lock the door then get into bed. You fall into a
deep slumber...
