[interactive fiction] The Creature in the Shadows
Content note: mild horror, food
You are awake in the middle of the night again.
You turn over in bed, again. As you do so you spot a light in the shadows in the corner of your room. You could swear it looked like an eye.
You try to stay calm. It was probably just a trick of the light.
You stay very still. Maybe if you act like you're already asleep you'll trick your body into falling asleep for real.
The shadow in the corner of your room blinks at you.
You: > run away screaming. > whisper “hello”. > find something sharp to throw at it.
