The Shadow

Woke up in the middle of the night , had to go to the bathroom , made my way down the hall to the bathroom . As I reached my hand inside to turn the light on, something or someone grabbed my arm and pulled me inside they twisted my arm up behind my back and pinned me to the door which in turn closed it. I tried to wiggle free but my body wouldn't move, still I kept trying. I finally broke free and manage to turn the light on but there was no one there . I never heard the door open either. I kind of pushed it to the back of my mind cause I still had to go pee, as I was standing there I starting thinking about what just happen some more, like who was it? How they get in? And how the heck did they get out of a closed bathroom? . Then I said to myself no matter who or what there not getting the jump on me again because I'll just start swinging. Just as I said that the bathroom light went out and someone again attack me this time they jump on my back and pinned me to the floor. I was able to roll over and pushed them off. I got to my feet and started swinging I didn't hit anything but for sure this time I heard the bathroom door open so I quickly turned the light on but it was too late they were gone.

I stepped out of the bathroom, looked up and down the hall still didn't see anyone. So i made my way back to my room and turn the rooms overhead light on . then turned around turned the hallway light on. Afterwards I made my way to the spare room turn it's light on. Then walked down the hall into the living room to turn on the ceiling fan light. Then Made my way to the kitchen light . When all the lights were on I stood in the middle of the living room and said out loud , whoever you are, you can come out , there no where for you to hide. Just as i said that I remembered the basement.

Walking slowly through the living to the kitchen where the basement door is. I open the door , reached in turned the light on and yelled out , come out now ,you can't hide. Then I made my way down the stairs. Once I got about half way down the stair case, the light went out and the door slammed.

I stood there for a second in the dark . when all if a sudden I started to hear foot steps coming up the stairs. I turned around and ran back up the stairs to the now shut door. I tried turning the handle but it wouldn't turn, like it was locked. So while turning the handle I slammed my shoulder into the door. Still nothing and now the foot steps are getting closer . I just kept Hitting the door with my shoulder with all my might. Then when it sounded like the foots steps where just a few steps away I shoulder the door one last time with all my weight.

It finally popped open
