This is just a small piece I wrote during a literature meeting and I wanted any one who felt like it to do their own version of this prompt:  Write about Fear.

Have you ever had those nights when you’re walking up the stairs and you hear something creaking behind you? When you turn around to check what was there you find yourself staring at empty darkness.  You sigh, turn back around, and hurry back to your bed. But as you lie there, you notice things such as the closet door being open, when you remember closing it.  The small hand your mother gave you for placing your rings seems to be making a shadow on the wall – it looks like the devils head.
It starts to rain and you can hear the wind howling through the trees.  The broken gutters clanging on the side of house right below your windows…sounds like someone wants to come in.
Then the images slowly form in your mind.  A one armed mutilated zombie demon bent on your destruction; the girl from the ring walking towards you through the wall; Freddy Krueger hiding behind your closet.   You find yourself burying yourself under your blanket – breathing heavily, muttering words of insanity.  One small squeak causes your stomach to churn.  You hear voices and the next thing you know is that you’re screaming into your father’s face trying to punch him.
