Unsound

I was walking home late one night, when I sensed something behind me.

I started to feel uneasy. I took a quick peek behind me: a shadowy figure was approaching. With every step it took, a ghastly sound filled the air.

Krrr-krrrr. Krrr-krrr.

I walked faster. Behind me, the figure quickened its pace.

Krrr-krrrr. Krr-krrrr!!

Terrified, I started running. The sound grew louder. I kept running until I reached my house. Finally, I was free! I locked my door, and went to my bedroom. Finally, I was safe. I climbed into bed, next to my wife. “You wouldn’t believe the night I had,” I said.

The figure in the bed turned to me, and a chill went down my spine.

“You’re..not my wife.”

The figure’s eyes gleamed red in the dark. It was grinding its teeth.

Krrr-krrrr. Krrr-krrrr. Krrr-krrrr.
