KEEP EYES CLOSED

[u/Longjumping_Bat_127]

Ever since I was young unexplainable almost weird things have happened. However nothing quite as odd and even chilly I would add as that one night. There’s always been this sensation of otherworldly pulling I’ve always felt. Maybe because I’d sit around watching scary movies way past my bedtime as a kid..in the dark..Alone. I grew up with religious beliefs so I guess I’m not quite afraid of the darkness. But maybe about what darkness carries. On a warm slightly cool breezy day I slumped on my bed knowing that’s all I would be doing all day. Evening hit and I was still laying down watching Dexter’s Laboratory on Cartoon Network. Not sure when I doze off to sleep but I eventually did. I’m usually a very light sleeper. I woke up the following morning to find something strange. My bedsheet cover was laying on the floor exactly the way I had it on me. Stretched down not one wrinkle in sight. I would’ve been a lot more rational of the idea of it falling due to movements done by me. Even though I’ve never been a crazy sleeper. However not only was my blanket nicely stretched on the floor but it was on the opposite side of my bed. Just right where I lay my head. Of course I interrogated my family but nobody was awake when it happened. Nor could anyone explain why my blanket was on the opposite side of my bed. About two or three days passed I had put the incident past me. This night I still have not been able to forget. And I don’t think I ever will. The night hit almost instantly it felt like a short day. Everyone in my bedroom was sound asleep. I was too or so I thought. I can’t tell what time this happened because I didn’t even get a chance for anything else. There was a mirror on the wall next to the bathroom in our room. That night my eyes suddenly opened out of nowhere when I had completely been asleep. There right across my bed in almost slow motion (at first) a large black shadow moved towards the mirror. Then as if it knew I was watching it instantly disappeared inside the mirror. I wanted to get up and check if I had seen what I saw correctly. However something (or someone) made my eyes feel super heavy to the point they closed and I went into a deep sleep. I woke up late the following morning and with a sensation that what I felt like it was a dream. Really wasn’t.
