Eyes in the Darkness

Don't Turn off the Lights

By David E. PerryPublished 3 years ago 1 min read

Have you ever awakened in the middle of the night with that disturbing feeling that you are being watched? You comfort your children, letting them know that there is no monster under the bed. Also, the man standing in their room is really only the shadow of their coat or jacket. But who is there to comfort you? Who is going to tell you that there is no monster in your room? Exactly what are the glowing eyes that you see? Why are they getting closer? Don’t scream. It’s too late. It got you now.
