The weary look on his face… He was tired, and so was I. He walked towards me slowly
in a silent and solemn manner, only to come to an abrupt halt. āWhatās wrong?ā I asked, only to be blatantly ignored as he stared off into the void beyond. āTom!ā I beckoned, āYou alright?ā A faint and indecipherable whisper came out. Did he say āIt nearsā or āIt fears?ā His last word echoed throughout the bunker. āDARKNESS!ā I knew it was too late for him. I never believed in monsters (well, at least the ones that I saw) until now. A sight to be seen no doubt. It had overtaken Tom, and I knew I was next. I ran as fast as I could, searching for cover. I hid in a locker and held my breath as the creature lurched through the armory. When all was clear (or at least I thought), I bolted for the switch. But before I could reach it, it was too late. It snuck out of hiding and grabbed me from behind. There was no escape. There was no more hiding. I was carried to a room, where Tom had laid. Was he sleeping? I couldnāt tell from my angle. Soon, I too was laid down on a surprisingly soft material. It was too late for both of us now. I couldnāt help but give into the soft, comfortable warmth of the blanket beneath me. It was nap time, and I couldnāt be happier.
