Flick!
A bright light suddenly burst into the room, dim yet sharp as it tore through the darkness.
"——!"
I flinched the moment the light came on, and my heart nearly leaped out of my chest.
But as if that wasn't creepy enough, a tune began to play from the TV.
"Trallalalal~"
"Little star, little moon~"
"Shining bright, come back soon~"
A nursery rhyme?
It was one that I didn't hear before, and for a moment, I froze in place.
But not for long.
Creeaaaak!
A creaking sound followed right after, and I immediately grew startled.
'The old lady!'
I glanced around in panic, ready to make a move for the door, only to realize I was trapped, wedged in by piles of garbage. One wrong step, and the noise would give me away.
'Shit, what do I do...?'
I looked around me, looking for some sort of hiding spot.
Creak. Creaaak!
