"You thought i will never notice?
The moisture in this room?
The sticky mold on this cold walls?
The ripped mattress of this bed?
And most of all..."
The heavy door of the room slowly opened, leaving a pale ray of light invading the pitch dark room.
"You.
You thought I'll never notice You coming here now and then, checking on me?" said he with a hateful tonality in his voice as he crawled slowly into the darkest corner of the room away from the light.
For a few tense moments there was no movement on the other side of the door... Until the door start making creaking sounds and someone shoved its head through the narrow opening and looked straight at him. Half of this person's head was visible. Seemed more that it was just peeping at him for a few moments, then slowly retreat its head and closing the door.
Every time this person would come he will find it hard to speak. But as soon as it was alone again, he started to talk with this person like he knew it could hear him.
"What do You want from me? What is it that You want me to do!!? Why do You always come here and never say anything?" screamed in despair. "Who..." his voice trembled and an obvious fear was visible "...who are You?"

A long time passed and even if it's always dark in his room he knows it must have been a few days. He was used sleeping on the damp floor, as he hated the feeling of the mattress on his skin. While he was lying there on the floor, in cold, he heard noises behind the heavy door. The noises stopped and just a few moments later, the door of his room opened as slow as ever. As soon as it opened, someone shoved its head inside, looking straight at him!
Still sleepy, he shuddered and without realizing he screamed "WHY DO YOU ALWAYS KNOW WHERE I AM EVEN IF IT'S DARK!!?!" He started to run across the room hiding in a different corner and even if he couldn't see the person's face at the door, he knew he was being watched, closely.
The head that was peeping at him suddenly fell on the ground and rolled all the way to him.
The faint light coming from the door was enough for him to tell that the head at his feet was a human's head. He looked at the door expecting a body to fall any moment too, but he noticed that there was no shadow of anything or anyone behind the door.
Just a ray of light.
Breathing heavenly, nervous, sweating and with his hands trembling, he got closer to the door and decided to take a look and see what's on the other side.
He hold his breath and looked...
While the light was hurting his eyes, as he was not used to any kind of light, he blinked repetitively with small eyes and slowly started to recognize the trace of another door identical to his, just a few steps away from his. There was a light bulb somewhere on the ceiling between the two doors and its light was falling in a perfect round circle enough to illuminate his and the other door. He took a look left and right, on what it seem to be a hallway, but the light was not strong enough to allow him to see.
It was dark...
He felt a sudden cold chill on his spine and he retreated back into his room.
He was scared.
His heart was beating like crazy "th.. There's no one there...Then who's head ... was that?" asked he with a small trembling voice as unexpectedly someone from behind him answered instantly "Why, of course, it's yours silly." His heart stopped and suddenly as if memories were flowing back into his conscious, he open wide his eyes and saw a headless thin body next to the door and a huge dark silhouette floating behind that body.
The creature like shadow turned at the falling head and revealed big sharped teeth in what resembled a smile.
The headless body collapsed.
His vision got blur.
The last thing he manage to see was the silhouette creature open its big mouth and rip off half of the mid-air falling body
"Just who... are.. y..ou.....?' the head mumbled and then everything turned black...
