Suspense story, I woke with a start; my eyelids popped open wide and gasped. It was just a dream; I took a deep breath, relaxed and laid back in to bed

beating drum. The air was bitter and damp, the frost pierced into my skin. There was whispering coming from one of the rooms. I gently stepped of the top stair as quietly as possible; I didn’t want anyone to hear me. I silently creped to the room labelled ‘room 94’. I was sure the whispering was coming from here. Curiously I peeked into the room from the corner of my eye, very carefully. My arms trembled and my heart beat with tremendous power. I caught a glimpse of what the room enclosed. To my astonishment I noticed a throne-like chair seating a inexplicable figure. It was barely noticeable its head only reached approximately a third of the way up the chair. He had midnight tinted eyes. Its arms dangled down the sides of the chair relaxing. His nails were filthy and long like the claws of a lion. They seemed to be sharp enough to stab a human. The cloak that fell around his shoulders whipped in the cool breeze revealing  the rest of its bony figure.  In front of him was a young man. He seemed to be in his early 20’s. I focused my eyes on him again and realised he wasn’t any usual person he was my father. My father in his early age. But what was he doing here? Weeping in front of this dreadful figure.  A rush of adrenaline raced up my blood .I had to go closer. I needed answers. I took a step closer to the room but lately realised I tripped on the side of the door and dropped in front of the room revealing myself to the figure...and my father. In time I realised It was miles out of depth of being human. The eccentric figure shaked its salt-and-pepper hair out of its eyes and gradually turned his head towards me with its glowing midnight eyes fixed on mine.   I woke with a start; my eyelids popped open wide and gasped.  It was just a dream; I took a deep breath, relaxed and laid back in to bed forcing the bed cover over my head. It was just a dream. I couldn’t sleep after that, so I decided to obtain a glass of milk . I sat up straight in bed and took another deep breath. Then i walked calmly to the window. The wind outside was howling making the trees whistle. The full moon was out. It was hanging full and hazy beneath a cap of dark clouds and It seemed like a misty shadow. Something wasn’t right.
