Chilling Tales for Dark Nights.
Narrated by Jonathan Jones.
Under the Covers.
Tonight's like every other night. You lay there, in the dark and silence, alone, with
no company other than your thoughts. You shift and roll throughout your bed, just you and
your thoughts. You ponder, you plan and you fantasize; anything to distract you from the
ringing silence, silence that surrounds you. You hear a creak, a common sound to hear on
such a still night, but you still recoil when the sound hits your ears. You hear this sound
almost every night, but the sheer unexpectedness sets off a trigger in your head as paranoia
takes over. The thoughts that once illuminated your mind are now darkened. What was once
pleasure and success has now turned to demons and killers.
The silence that your mind was distracting you from has now become the focus. You lay
there, silent, listening for any obscure sound, hoping that the silence doesn't leave. Every
little noise adds to your paranoia and the silence lingers as you await the next unexpected
occurrence. You're too afraid to open your eyes at the thought of seeing anything your
mind can conjure. So you lay there alone in fear.
The fear builds in your mind as you try to find a quick escape from anything it creates.
You revert to your childhood solution, hiding under the covers. You pull the blanket over
your head and lay in silence. You hear noises, but they don't seem as scary. You figure if
they can't see you, you're safe. The heat builds up under your blanket, but you put
up with it simply for the comfort it supplies. You begin to calm down and relax and revert
back to your usual logical self. It's just you and your thoughts again, alone,
under your blanket. You think of how silly it was to get so scared and worked up over
a silly little noise. Eyes closed, you lift the blanket off of your face as the built
up heat is released. You breathe a sigh of relief and roll over, only to hear a deep,
grating voice whisper, "Oh, there you are," as the sound of footsteps creeps towards your
bed.
