Visitor

In the early morning of December 2019 I awoke around 3A.M., my eyes scanned the darkness as it adjusts to the moonlit airbnb room. Suddenly something in the corner of the bedroom catches my eyes. Something tall that shouldn't be there... too tall. Panic kicks in as my senses lock in on the slender shape floating off the ground. "I hope it doesn't come close" I thought to myself. In an instance as if hearing my inner voice the entity rockets silently across the room towards my bedside moving so fast my eyes can only briefly register flickers of its silhouette. Within a fraction of a second it covered 20 feet of space into a dead stop. Only now am I able to see it clearly as this... uninvited visitor towers over me, its distinct sarcophagus like silhouette hangs motionless off the ground. There's no movement or signs of life, its surface looked cold like polished stone. My gaze was interrupted by an ear-splitting industrial screech, the shock overpowers my system as my senses are assaulted all at once. Frozen in fear I could not move to shield my ears, my breath shortens as an invisible weight tightens around my chest. Simultaneously my partner sleeping next to me began to speak in a deep voice, reciting in an ancient tongue I know not from this world. The sound of her ritualistic chant and the industrial screech crescendos into an unimaginable symphony of noise as I am pulled from my dream. I lie awake, my senses return, relief sets in as I regain control of my neck. Instinctively I turn over to look at where the entity was, only to be met with it's dark presence still hovering over the bedside. With each blink of my eyes the visitor faded like distorted frames in an old camera, and within an instance it flickered out of reality.
