She could feel it as she stood there, eyes closed. Someone - or maybe it was something - was reaching out to her. Reaching for her.
Her heart started to beat a little bit harder in her chest. Another second and it was going to reach her, it would have her. She didn't know what would happen then. Breath catching in her throat, fear clamping around her heart, her eyes flew open. She wasn't sure what she had been expecting to see in front of her, but there was nothing there. The room was empty. Silent. Save for the sound of her own breathing.
Whatever had been there was gone now. Or maybe she just couldn't see it lurking in the shadows, waiting for its chance. Wait for her to close her eyes.
Next time.
