The house was... Silent, eerily quiet, not even the creak of the floor could be heard.

Awkwardly I walked ostentatious to the familiar house I had lived so long in, so strange this... Home was to me... So odd and out of place I felt. I swore to myself not but a few hours ago lying in be I felt so casual but after awaking for a late night meal... The world... Changed.

Silently after finishing my sandwich I made quickly, I cleaned up still uneasy for the silence that surrounded me, quickly I finished not wanting to be in confines of the darkness any longer. I hurried to my room quickly unlocking the door to an even darker room, the same strange omnipresence still lingered here as the moonlight shine through the window across the end of my bed, but my eyes... They landed on an object... A small animalistic being laid silently in the black towards me.

Cautiously I stepped into the room, hand out unintentionally reaching for the creature, upon the closer inspection it was shaped as a cat and the black body revealed to be a stripped white and blue. I let out a slow breath as I reached closer, my heart tense to each moment, my breath growing more shallow each passing second.

The world froze...

The creature stirred, it's face slowly turned to me, I saw it as it shone through the darkness. It was as if the darkness ate the light around it, it's luminosity forcing one to focus on its plaster white face, it had no pupils... No fur it was... Odd.

I wasn't sure to be worried, Scared, or Angry... For seconds I stood transfixed on it, looking directly into its white eyes, it stared back making no sound, no movements, for moments we just stared.

Then... It moved and... I moved

My hands they latched around its neck, I held, nay... Squeezed tightly around the creature, it didn't fight back and I wanted to stop but instinct kept me going, my hands grasped tightly unmoving fully encompassing its throat. After several moments of holding in place I let go, the body fell to the floor with a thud, it left me dry of energy, I was tired again my body felt tolled and my mind was at a loss.

I couldn't comprehend what had just happened and I wasn't sure if I wanted to, all I cared for was sleep... To tired for anything more.

I sat at the bed falling backwards shortly eyes at the ceiling as they were about to shut.

I jolted as the beast landed atop me hissing in my face.

I woke started and cold, sweat down my face. I felt my body let out in registered breaths, venting the shock. I felt a warmth on my shoulder.

I looked... It was my dog

He was resting peacefully, silently, the room was silent, eerily quiet.
Got the idea from a friend of mine who had an odd dream a few nights back, of course out of respect I tilted it a little bit to change it, not much but enough.

Thanks to :iconAlkemy-Freak: for his SCP-087 Cat dream, really weird mind ya got there bro...

also... It's nice to write again
