Fear NoT

a tinge of flicker sent a jolt of lightning through my spine
look to the left. then to the right.
nothing.
just a bleak darkness of my room.

NO. something is moving near the cupboards.
i'm fully aware. it's coming to get me!!
heat is rushing inside me...
my heart is thumping harder and harder...

blood is circulating at a fast rate.
streaks of sweat started to flow down my white-stricken face.
it's nothing. it must be ur imagination. ignore it and go to sleep.
slowly, my eyes were shut.

...21 sheep...22 sheep...23 sheep...24....
*cReEaakk*
what was that?!
eyes wide-opened, i stared into the white ceiling
look to the left. then to the right.

i swear i heard the sound.
is it a thief? a monster? maybe it's an alien!!
have to find out.
peeking thru my bed frame, there was nothing, just the usual tiled floors.

i lied back down.
pulled my blanket tighter and higher, up to my throat.
look to the left. then to the right.clear.
i closed my eyes.

15 sheep...16 sheep...is someone approaching me? no.ignore it.
17 sheep...18 sheep...19 sheep...the air is moving near me!!
a picture came to my mind
a monster with a knife, ready to plunge it into my flesh!!
OMG...OMG...what should i do??

my heart's racing so fast that another slight push will send it flying out of my chest.
by now, my pyjamas were half wet
my hair was drenched with cold sweat.
i cant stand it. i gave in to fear...

after another thorough check around my room, i went back to sleep
pulling my blanket over my face.
inside, oxgen was replaced by carbon dioxide
soon, i was hot-faced and gasping for breath.
please go away...please...i begged earnestly

thirty minutes of what seemed like eternity passed...
all my energy was drained.
imaginations and illusions stopped.
never know when and how. i fell asleep. finally.
