My Eyes Opened To Darkness

Feb 18th, 2023 by thegooddoctor in 100 Words

My eyes opened to darkness, as I fumbled around to find my phone. The bright screen hurt to look at, but pain was overcome by the satisfaction of knowing it was only 3 AM. Quickly, I confirmed the presence of my roommate’s dark figure, fast asleep. I was yet to grow out of my fear of monsters in the dark; knowing she was here helped me sleep. Next time I awoke, she looked worried.

“Was someone else here?”

“What do you mean?” my stomach dropped.

“I just got back from Ritika’s place, but my bed’s been slept in.”

I shrieked.
