There’s a noise under the bed. Ignore it. It’s all in my head.
There’s a noise in the closet. Ignore it. There’s nothing there.
There’s a noise at the bedroom door. Knocking? Maybe it’s my brother.
I should check. What if it’s an emergency?
I pull aside my blankets and swing my feet out of the bed, planting them firmly on the floor.
The knocking stops. Maybe it was never there. It’s all in my head.
I try to remind myself of that as something grabs both of my ankles and pulls me into the darkness under my bed.
