Three Eyes
The Meeting: It’s a cold night, and a fresh blanket of snow covered the ground. I could feel the air from the unsealed window creeping through tickling me awake. I opened my eyes, heart dancing with anxiety as if I was waking up for school late but it was only 2:34am. I sit up from my bed and stare out into the darkness of my room trying to ignore the ominous feeling. It wasn’t working. I got out of bed to try to pacify the initial situation of the cold wind sneaking through. I mustered up the courage to slide out of bed to secure the window. I approached the window and jiggled it shut tight. I couldn’t help but to stare out into the night sky. The stars were beautiful and shining bright with the moon. The country night sky wasn’t shrouded by city lights and high rises. The corn fields rose high enough to make you just slightly uncomfortable. As I studied the stars a figure catches my eye. I stare out into the darkness to see it again and it was...gone. I looked a little bit longer before having to give up. As I turned away I heard a voice in my head..,”Don’t look again, you don’t want to know .” I felt sweat start to drop down my neck even though my room was freezing, I turned my head to look at the window again and there the figure was waiting for my gaze. I could only see a dark figure the size of a large bird hovering near my window, until I saw 3 eyes blink. I jumped away from the window almost tripping over my slippers. What bird has three eyes? That’s the first thought that came into my mind. I backed away and sat on my bed praying I was dreaming. I closed my eyes and counted to 10 hoping it would of disappeared. 1...2.....3....4....5...6..7..8..9.10. I pop my eyes open clenching my pillow. It was still there hovering and staring at me expectingly. I locked eyes with the figure and I felt taken over. My body suddenly approached the window and before I understood what I was doing I opened the latch and began to pull the window up to let the figure in. I could feel my hands shaking but I couldn’t control what I was doing. Tears of fear streamed down my face as I backed away to my bed and away from the opened window. The figure entered my room and with a black poof an owl with three red eyes appeared and sat in front of the window on my floor gazing at me as if I had something to tell him. I was overtaken by it’s eyes.
