Listen to the following audio first, and then read the written form of this short story. Try to understand the audio without reading the text! ๐๐๐
One night, after this went on for a while, I had it. I bought a gun and turned on every light in the house. Then I sat down in the middle of the living room with my gun in my lap and a baseball bat sitting next to me. I waited. There was nothing at first for a long time. At around 2 in the morning I began to hear it. Oddly, it was behind me. I turned and peeked toward the hall to my bedroom and could hear that familiar growl.
I swallowed and held my gun in one hand and the bat in the other and slowly began to step around to get a better view of bedroom from the living room. As I began to get a view of my bed, I heard a loud THUMP! followed by an inhuman roar. I, being the brave woman I was, jumped back and away from the hallway.
I wanted to end this all but, dear god I didnโt want to deal with that thing! I could hear tearing and smashing but, and I donโt know how I caught it, but I did manage to hear an audible โclickโ. And then nothing. Slowly, I went back to peek down the hall and the light was off once again. A deep breath and I ventured forth, my weapons ready.

When I came to my bedroom and flicked the light back on, I gasped. My bed was ravaged, torn completely apart. It was like some animal had jumped into it and just ripped it to shreds. I stepped forward to look at what was left of my bed and just stood in shock for who knows when. It wasnโt until I heard the sound of a familiar growl that I turned around. Standing near my door, right at the light switch, was when I finally saw it.
It was a man, a white and rotting man with a mangled body that looked like he had once been a dogโs chew toy staring at me. I was too in shock to even raise my weapons. He stared at me for just a moment and thenโฆflicked off the light. I screamed. Iโm not even ashamed to admit it.
I screamed and bolted. I didnโt care if that was where thatโฆmanโฆhad been standing. I ran right past where I had seen him, swinging my bat like a madman. I nearly put a hole in the hallway as I ran through into the safe light of the hall. I turned to look back then, just in time to see him once again near the hallโs light switch. He turned that one off too. By then, I didnโt want to fight. I wanted to be safe. I burst past the living room and into the brightness of my kitchen. I heard the sound of growling and scratching nearly all around me...then and I knew he was coming back. I looked back to once again see that mangled and rotten corpse of a man turn off another light with a broken finger and plunge me into terrifying darkness. I broke for the living room.
