Nick ran his fingers through his hair. He had been sitting in front of his computer for over an hour trying to find out what the words on the key meant. Problem was, he didn't know what language it was or even where to begin.

Sighing, Nick stretched and decided to take a break. He got up and walked into the kitchen. Grabbing a drink from the fridge, Nick heard a noise almost making him drop his can. It was a startly whisper. "NNNNNickkkk."

Nick turned his head looking around quickly. Again,"NNNNickkkkk"

Each time he heard the whisper in another direction. A laugh and then,"NNNNNickkkk"

"Who's there?" Nick called out. Putting down his drink, Nick walked out of the kitchen and into the hallway looking around. The hallway suddenly became very dark. As if the sun had completely left the sky. "NNNNickkkk"

Nick followed the voice to the last room at the end of the hallway. A storage room, Nick called it. He had never gotten around to opening some of his boxes of belongings so he just put them all in one room.

Nick grabbed the doorknob. It was freezing. Nick knew enough from movies to know a cold doorknob was not a good sign. Nick swallowed scared. His had shaking, he turned the knob and peeked in. Suddenly the door flew open. Nick's eyes widened at the sight before him. There was a greenish blue glow in the center of the room.

"NNNNicckkkk"

A white sheet colored boney hand reached for him. Stumbling backwards, Nick reached for the door. The glow moved towards him. Nick grabbed the doorknob and stepped back again. This time the boney hand grabbed him by the shirt. Nick started to scream.

The boney hand let go and Nick ran out of the room, slamming the door behind him. Nick ran into his bedroom and jumped into bed throwing the blankets over his head. It had always worked when he was younger, so why not try it now?

Nick heard a creaking noise coming down the hall. Nick closed his eyes tightly praying it would go away. The glowing cloud entered his room. Nick could hear it. He began to hold his breath. His blankets were torn from his body. Nick quietly whimpered. Scared to do anything.

He slowly opened his eyes, just in time to see the boney hand touch his forehead. Nick groaned and went into a deep unconciousness.
