I couldn’t quite sleep that night. Tossing and turning; pushing the sheets off my bed. I couldn’t shake the slight feeling of dread and fear of something unknown to my conscience. Soon, I drifted off into an uneasy dream sleep. I found myself sitting on the edge of my brother’s bed staring straight at the door as if waiting for something. That’s when it slowly creaked open a sliver, enough so I could make out a dark figure with severe human like features. I felt my heart beat out of my chest. Then I woke to all my lights on. I sat up with a heavy weight on my chest contemplating the dream I had. I didn’t want to go back to sleep. I couldn’t even if I tried. So, I turned the TV on and watched a movie to help push the uneasiness away from my thoughts. Suddenly I heard the distinct click and creak of my brothers door opening. It wasn’t loud enough to wake my parents up but I heard it so I decided to get up and close it. I tip toed out into the hallway and found the door was slightly open and a blue flashing light was coming from in the room. I peered inside in saw the TV was on and then I looked at my brother, David, who was sitting on the edge of his bed, staring down where the wall met the ground. He was talking but I couldn’t make out any of the words he was saying. It didn’t sound like he was just speaking gibberish. He was laughing one second and then he would get serious. But then he would continue with light hearted laughter. Tried to get his attention by saying his name. I wasn’t fully standing in the room. I was looking in from the doorway and I continued to say his name. Not until about the seventh time, did he notice me. He looked up at me with a confused expression like he was trying to make out who I was. After a couple seconds, his eyes widened in terror and he said “oh shit!” Then he hid under his covers. I was a little confused and freaked out, so I walked over to his bed and pulled the covers off his face. But he was fast asleep.
