You Know

You know they are there, you know they are watching you....

You know they're there.

You know that they watch you, day and night. You swear it doesn't scare you, that the flitting shadows are just your imagination. It's fine, you chant, There is nothing outside, in the corner, under the bed. That noise I heard was just the neighbor's cat. 

You convince yourself that it isn't real, that it's all in your head. 

And yet, you're looking over your shoulder. 

You try to pass it off as a nonchalant glance, but really, you are searching for that subtle shift that means you are not alone. You glance back quickly, too afraid you'll find what  you've been looking for. 

One of these days though, you will find it. Whether it be because they have grown weary of hiding or you let your curiosity take over for a millisecond. 

And when this happens, you must be ready. You must be prepared to act, to put up a strong resistance.

Because they don't like to be ignored.

This is nice. Reminds me of Don't Be Afraid of The Dark. I was kind of hoping this would be a bit longer though ):

Really? Was it a good movie?
and sorry, it was just a passing thought really. my other creepy stories are longer usually

Yeah, it's one of my favorite horror movies. It's actually built around the Celtic "tooth fairy" but this writing in general still reminds me of it.
