Shima found herself curled into a tight ball, tapping the bed frame, shaking and shivering. She kept muttering to herself.

1. 2. 3. 4.

Shiver.

5. 6. 7. 8.

Tap tap

9. 10. 11.

12. 13. 14.

The gray eye in the corner ticked away with it's black hands slowly moving and interlinking with plastic numbers plasted on it's face.

15. 16. 17. 18.

She readjusted herself again,the heavy metal mask shifing itself with her body.

19. 20. 21. 22.

The emptiness infront of her seemed to glare down at her, scowling and growling, as it slowly slithered to grasp her and drag her away. Like the edging stare of a predator ready to attack it's prey.

23. 24. 25. 26. 27. 28. 29.

Silence hummed in her ears, driving her mad

30.

A large presence entered the room like a shadow. Shima flinched at the sudden creeping feeling that someone was staring at her, captivated. Everyday this large feeling would enter the room and everyday it would just stare at Shima.

It caught her so much that she would cease counting until the large feeling passed.

It loomed over her and snatched her attention, attempting to lure her security and defense away.

It strayed like the boogie man. Shima could feel it's movements as it swayed left and right across Shima's bed. Almost like it was gliding, it seemed impossible to track it's footsteps.

After minutes that felt like days, the mysterious presence vanished and Shima resumed counting.
