Maybe It's just me, but I've never been a fan of sleep<strong>in</strong>g<br />
with my limbs hang<strong>in</strong>g off my bed.<br />
It's not that I have a HUGE bed or anyth<strong>in</strong>g, <strong>in</strong> fact, I just<br />
sleep on a super s<strong>in</strong>gle toge<strong>the</strong>r with my soft toys. One day,<br />
I woke up feel<strong>in</strong>g this strange sensation of be<strong>in</strong>g watched. It<br />
was pretty early <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> morn<strong>in</strong>g too, so.. before sunrise.<br />
There wasn't anyone else <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> room which was odd, s<strong>in</strong>ce I<br />
slept with my helper and my grand dad. I thought noth<strong>in</strong>g of<br />
it and just went back to sleep. Only to be woken up a second<br />
time, sleep<strong>in</strong>g on my stomach <strong>in</strong>stead of my back this time, by<br />
a t<strong>in</strong>gl<strong>in</strong>g feel<strong>in</strong>g on my palm.<br />
Imag<strong>in</strong>e a long and sharp f<strong>in</strong>gernail dragg<strong>in</strong>g lightly across<br />
your hand. It was pretty dark and my vision was k<strong>in</strong>da hazy so<br />
I couldn't tell if <strong>the</strong>re was a figure or not. I just felt <strong>the</strong><br />
ticklish sensation of a f<strong>in</strong>gernail be<strong>in</strong>g dragged across my<br />
hand. I closed my hand and didn't th<strong>in</strong>k much of it, until I<br />
realised that whatever that was, was draw<strong>in</strong>g <strong>the</strong> shape of a<br />
cross onto my palm.<br />
Maybe it was a cross, or just a + sign, but it really scares<br />
me to th<strong>in</strong>k.. maybe it was an anti-cross? Who knows. I woke<br />
up a couple hours later and checked with my mom and<br />
grandmo<strong>the</strong>r, <strong>the</strong> only two who had long po<strong>in</strong>ty f<strong>in</strong>gernails <strong>in</strong><br />
my house, if <strong>the</strong>y had pranked me earlier <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> day, but <strong>the</strong>y<br />
were both out of <strong>the</strong> house at <strong>the</strong> wet market when this<br />
occurred.<br />
Which keeps me th<strong>in</strong>k<strong>in</strong>g.. what was it exactly that was<br />
watch<strong>in</strong>g and... touch<strong>in</strong>g me?<br />
