Thud... Thud... Thud...

It was all I heard.

My own heartbeat.

Slow, yet steady.

The light in my room flickered, then I was swallowed by darkness.

Something brushed past my shoulder.

It was a mystery, I thought I was alone!

Out of the corner of my eye, I spotted a dim glow, coming from the kitchen sink.

My feet were rooted to the spot, but I forced myself forwards.

Down the stairs.

To the kitchen sink.

The glowing figure glanced at me, just for a moment, long enough for me to realise, it wasn't human.

Then, it went down the drainpipe...

Alone?
