I am the rustling of the leaves at night when all is still. I am the creaking of the floorboards while you are home alone. I am the sound of muted footsteps in the hallway empty but for you. I am the darting shadow in the corner of the room, gone just before you can bring me into focus. I am the tapping at the window, the flickering of the lights, and the rattling of the blinds. I am the breath down your neck that makes your hairs stand on end and sends chilling shivers down your spine. I am the haunting presence above your bed as you squeeze your eyes shut, struggling to think of anything but me. And I am real. When you feel you’re being watched, know that it’s me. When you wonder if you’re being followed, trust that I am never far away. I am hiding behind every corner, and biding my time in each unlit room you step into. I will never show myself to you, because I like to watch you squirm. You will never see me, because your fear of what I could be is what brings me my depraved joy. I won’t let you catch me, but nor can I let you forget me - so I send you these reminders. Reminders that you’re never truly alone, and that wherever you go in life to hide from me, I will stalk you there, never revealing my true form. Never, until I decide it’s time. Look behind you.
