I've been in the shower for hours now and I have yet to run out of warm water.

Something is sitting on the sink counter in the bathroom only a few feet away from me. He's watching me. I peeked through the shower curtains to get a glimpse of the creature.

I wish I didn't.

He had gray skin, thin hair on its head, had long nails, easily could be a foot long. But there was blood on those nails...with flesh hanging off of the tips.

Every now and then he let out a chuckle, clearing his throat...to let me know he's still there.

I don't want to get out. But the water...it keeps getting colder and colder. I'm starting to blister. I stand there with freezing cold water hitting my back.

How long I'll be able to take this.
