My eyes open to a pitch-black bedroom. I’m groggy and even a little bit cozy, but I have to pee like the devil’s wife. As confident as I felt for a brief period near the end of our dinner, there’s no defying my bladder. It rustles me awake and drags me to the bathroom.

I have to turn the bathroom light on to find my way to the toilet. It’s funny. I’ve been trapped in this bedroom for who knows how long now, and I’m still a stranger to its space. At my old home, I could have given you a tour while completely blindfolded. But not here. I guess I just haven’t been trapped here long enough. God, I hope I never am...

When I’m done with my late-night business, I shuffle back out of the bathroom and flick the lights off. I’m immediately greeted with a blanket of darkness... except for the sliver of moonlight that streams in through the bedroom window. It falls in a ghostly rectangle-shaped block to a space just at the foot of our bed.

I take a second to re-adjust before I make the treacherous journey back under the covers. I don’t get far, though, because a sudden unexpected sound stops me in my tracks.

I stand like a statue, in complete darkness, listening for it to come again. I’m not scared, but something has a grip over my heart that won’t let me move. The longer I stand, the better I can see in the darkness.

Then, suddenly, the sound comes again.

A tap. It’s loud enough to slice through the silence of the bedroom, but not quite noisy enough to make a racket.

The tap is closely followed by another. My eyes are immediately drawn to the source of the sound.

It’s coming from the window. Those heavy red drapes are still flung to the side. From afar, I can see the dark outline of the oak tree outside. A shiver runs down my spine and my eyes immediately dart away from the scene, back to my bed, right to Diego’s side of the mattress.

But he’s not there.

A small lightning bolt strikes across my heart.

I’m alone.

Why haven’t I closed those darned drapes yet?

I suddenly find myself fighting back what I saw the last time I looked out of the window at night. Marco’s ghostly face. The image of his bloody, dead body floods my mind and I start to shake.

Where the hell is Diego!? He’s never here when I actually need him. Was he still in bed when I got out to go to the toilet?

My mind is too heavy with sleep to remember.

Another tap ricochets off the glass.

A sharp breath escapes my flared nostrils. My feet are flexed to their limit, as are my calves and every other muscle on my soft, useless body.

Tap.

I close my eyes, trying to will away the fear invading my body. There’s no such thing as ghosts. There’s no such thing as ghosts.

Tap.

There’s no such thing as ghosts.

Tap. Tap.

But there are monsters... and someone has already tried to kill you.
