The Thing In The Night a short story
“Maybe if I just roll over the other way, I won’t hear it.” I think to myself as I begin to wish whatever is creating the infernal noise would just disappear.
This is when I decide that it is just not worth getting up for and finding out what the mystery noise is, so I turn over slowly onto my other side and then try to go back to sleep. As I do, I picture myself laying on my back, looking up at the clouds and counting them. 1, 2, 3.
