The One That Stares

My room looked like trash so I have decided to clean it up one day. And it felt refreshing to throw away my old stuff and try to create a new atmosphere for my studies. And I thought I did the right thing.             However, after a few days, I somehow felt uncomfortable sleeping. I always changed positions whenever I’m trying to get myself some sleep. I feel a gush of wind somewhere on my nape and with that, I decided that I will refuse to open my eyes to see what that was.             And days go by with the same routine until, one day, I always felt like someone was watching. Someone was lurking in the darkness that my neon lights cannot reach. I was scared and shivering. And this is the only time that I hate myself from being curious because I decided to open my eyes slowly to take the courage to view what was staring at me.             And to my horror, it was my big-eyed stuff toy named Fluffy. I forgot that I placed him there when I cleaned.
