Are you scared?
Chilling Tales for Dark Nights.
It's the same checklist every night: Did I turn off all the lights? Yes.
Did I shut the garage? Yes. Did I lock the front door? The back door?
Set the alarm? Yes, yes, and yes. Did I check the closet? Yes.
I mean, really check it? Move the clothes aside, shine a flashlight into the shadows?
Yes. Empty, as always. And yet, as I drift off to sleep, do I hear
the closet door creak open? Is that the shuffling of footsteps, making its way across my bedroom
floor? Do I hear, no, feel, hot, rasping breath against the back of my neck?
Yes.
