It was late, really late. I don't know why i kept ding things like that to myself, Staying up until the waning hours of the night. Yet here i was, Walking up my wooden basement stairs in the complete darkness, oppressing my thoughts and obtruding into my mind morbid images and scary whimsical thoughts of monsters.

I chuckled as i reached the top of the stairs; it was ridiculous to believe in fairytales. I started to shut the door behind me, but just as it was about to close, it sprung back open as it rebounded off of something squishy. I jumped back, and with horror looked down. A sok was wedged under the door and prevented it from closing. I nervously chuckled and threw the sock down into the vasement.

Then it was thrown back, landing at my feet.

I live alone.
