I had been standing in the corner of the lift for around six minutes. It kept moving.
It moved like an eerie little shadow; the ones that you noticed sometimes but it always bothered
you.
That stupid guard that kept standing at the gate and that stupid dog that kept screaming--I
hated them both. Only if they would just shut up and let me look properly.
I think it was closer tonight. I really did not want it inside the lift. But it was.
It followed me to my room. It keeps looking at me with unblinking eyes.
