Chapter 154 Story 154: The Shadow in the Wall

Lena had always been a light sleeper, but tonight was different. The room was unusually cold, and the shadows seemed to dance on the walls. She pulled her blanket tighter, trying to shake off the eerie feeling that something was watching her.

"Lena, are you okay?" she asked, rushing to her side.

The creature was gone, leaving only a cold, empty space where it had been. Lena nodded, still trembling. She knew she would never forget the terror of that night, and the shadow in the wall that had almost taken her.
