Don't Close Your Eyes; and other short horror stories

It

Inspired by PridePotato 's When It Came

———————————

You sit on your plush comforter on your bed, when she feel something crawl along your feet.

Looking down you see a small black spider dart across your toes.

Your gaze shifts upwards, and you see in fright a looming black figure hiding behind the partially open closet door.

Tentacles squirm beneath its feet and it has long claws that rake long grooves into the wooden door.

It's eyes are a bright yellow, perfectly circular and wide, with bright orange and blood red near the pupils, which are just slits.

It casts no shadow, even though your lamp is turned on.

It grins, stretching all the way to the other side of it's face. Its teeth are stained red and they're long and pointy.

Blood seeps from the closet, staining your white shag carpet.

You reel back in fright as it stumbles over to you. It stops halfway across the room.

It cocks his head to the size, sending chills down your spine.

Dark, crimson pools from beneath its long, disgusting tentacles.

You swear you can see blood between its teeth.

It utters a single, gargled phrase.

"Do you want to play a game with me?"
