My body slowly relaxed as I sank into bed. Muscle by muscle, nerve by nerve, the tension of a long day slipped away as I drifted towards my dream land. My mind was sleepily reviewing the movie I had just watched, Paranormal Activity. I was disappointed with it; my older sister had told me it was the scariest movie she had ever seen. To me, it was extremely stupid.

I was in the state when you're between sleep and being awake. Where I dreamt, yet was aware of my surroundings. Suddenly, out of no where, there was a sudden, resonating thud! I frantically tried to sit up, but I had been cocooned in my blankets, so it took me a while to find my way out. By the time I escaped my dark prison, all was quiet. I figured it was just mart of my dream, so I cautiously layed back down. I then closed my eyes, not for five seconds when more noises came from mydoor. I tried to see, squinting through the darkness. A sudden panic washed through my body. I was going blind! Everything was so blurry! Then it hit me like a wall of bricks...I wasn't wearing my glasses.

I scrambled down my bed to my windowsill, where I had left them. Hands shaking slightly, I slide them on. I reached to look at the time on my cell. Just as it turned 2:01 am, the handle on my door should violently. Then more thuds against the door.
THUD! THUD! BANG!

It sounded as if Bruce Willis was trying to break down my door. The handle kept on jiggling as if someone were trying to get in. I thought to myself, "This is the end! There's a demon out there trying to get me! Just like in the movie!".

At that moment, I understood why the victims in horror movies open the door at the wrong moments. It is because, well for me, that they are curious. For at this point a loud and heavy silence laced the air.

Slowly I slid out of my bed, grabbing a teddy bear for moral support. the handle shakes slightly as I grab it with trembling hands. I fling the door wide open! My breath comes out in a gush. Nothings there. Then out of the silence i hear a "Meow". I looked down, and see my cat, staring up at me.
