Short Title: Friday Night Creeps #2
Jessica looked up from her computer and over to her bedroom window. The tapping sound was now coming from there.
This was strange.
Tap…Tap…Tap…
She got up from her bed. This had to be noting more than a tree branch that was blowing in the wind she thought. However as she got closer to her bedroom window she moved slower and began to feel a little uneasy about this.
‘What if it wasn’t a tree branch?’‘What if it were something else?’
These thoughts started running through her head more quickly now and her heart quickened. Her hand stretched out to lift the shade but then she stopped.
“This is silly.” Jessica said out loud. “I’m the only one here.
The window is too small for anyone to climb in and its probably one of the damn squirrels trying to get into my apartment again.”
Before she could say something else to calm her own nerves the sound of the Tap…Tap…Tap… broke her self talk.She paused feeling more anxiety race through her.
She had the mind to run into her bathroom. She hadn’t felt this scared in years. Even with living in NYC and traveling to some of the most dangerous of neighborhoods or one reason or another.
This fear felt…different. But instead of running and locking herself int he bathroom like some mad woman she took a deep breath and let it out slowly.
Then reached out and lifted the shade to see….nothing.Nothing was there.
“Ha ha” she laughed to herself.
“I’m getting all worked up over nothing. Must have been the tree branch…get a grip girl.” Jessica said to herself.Before she left go of the shade and returned to her bed and waiting computer the sound started again.Tap…Tap…TapThis time when she did look it wasn’t nothing. “What the…”A black…finger? was right outside her window.
She couldn’t clearly see the rest of it because of the rain but she was sure it was a finger. It rested on the glass where the sound had returned. For once in Jessica’s life she was frozen in place…unable to scream.The finger outside her window pulled back and tap….tap…tap.But she couldn’t move…think….anything. This couldn’t be real….
She was way to far up for something to be outside her window. The tree that was out side was not strong enough for someone to climb and get this far.Yet.The finger…was outsider her window and was now…drawing something.She watched as the finger drew circles from the rain drops on her window. As though it sensed her froze on the other side.
She still couldn’t see the rest of it. Was it a man or woman?She couldn’t tell. All she could see is the lone finger making circles and more circles on her window and her still unable to move.Jessica had to do something. She tried to move. She tried to scream but it was as something was stopping her. Keep her focused on the display going on outside her apartment window. ‘I need to move…to do something.’She struggled but nothing came of it. Then the finger stopped. No more circles.It turned and let it knuckle rest on the glass and tapped.
That seem to break her out of her strange spell. She could talk and move again and her first thought was to grab her cell and lock herself in the bathroom. That was her first thought after getting the freedom to move again and she turned and got as far as her bed.Then the finger TAP…TAP…TAP.And she was frozen in place and by some strange power turned around back towards the window.TAP.Against her will….against her fear…Jessica took step to the finger.
