He looked into the computer screen which glowed with a strange eerie glow in the dark. His eyes danced between the two sides of the computer screen, his attention totally grasped by the document opened up on his computer screen. As he motioned to move the mouse to reveal the lower part of the document, his eyes were struck by the bright yellow color of the candle that silently burned in the background.
He was not a common guy. Anyone who had been acquainted with him for even a while could say that.
Now as he turned his attention back to his document on the computer screen, he felt some sort of weariness gripping him. With a slight motion of the mouse, he closed the document, and heaved himself from his chair. He spread out his arms to look out for any object in his pathway.

As he moved along the corridor of his house, he could hear some strange noise coming from his bedroom.
The sound of the closing of the door - the sound of someone stepping up on his bed - the sound of someone dropping garments.
He became alert, and quickly motioned towards his room, to find out the reason for the commotion.
Inch by Inch, as he drew himself closer to the room, he became more and more alert. At last, feeling a sudden urge of braveness, and courage, he heaved open the door of his bedroom.
