An Encounter

  I awoke  suddenly one late October night to a darkened room illuminated by the light of the light of the full moon. What had awakened me  I didn't really know. I was wrapped in my blanket and very reluctant to expose anything that didnt need to be exposed to te crisp night air streaming in through my slightly open window. So I peeked out and glanced around the room, just to satisly my curiosity. Nothing was amiss so I dismissed my waking up to a sound from outside. I glanced out of the window next to the bed, seeing nothing in the bright moonlight I again settled  in ander the covers. Suddenly there ws a soft creak from the far side of the room. My closet door had opened up a little, I knew I had shut it before, but I was in no mood for any open doors at 3am. So I got up shuffled over and shut thedoor, making sure that it had fully shut. Yawning, I returned to bed. Dozing off, I again  hear the closet door open. This time the door was wide open. Staring into the open closet I saw a pair of glowing red eyes. ZBlinking, I grabbed my glasses, and the eyes were indeed there ! Theey seemed to blink several times as I watched in a growing terror. Dismissing the entire incident as a twisted dream. After awhile I fell asleep. Severalminutes later I was awake again. Looking at the closet the eyes were gone. Settling back in. I heard a soft scratching noise on the carpet under the bed.  Looking over the side, I peeked under the bed. The eyes were there glowing brightly. I hurriedly pulled my self under the covers. Again the shuffling sounds. I kept my eyes tightly closed terrifiedMinutes passed and I peeked from the bed into the dloset, the eyes had returned. As I watched, the closet door slowly closed. Blaming the entire incident on spicy foods I fell fast asleep. I awoke in the morning the sun was shining brightly on October 31st. As I shuffled over to the closet to get my clothes, I reached for the doorknob to open the door. Just before I grabbed the knob it began to rattle as if something ws trying to open it. I didn't open it.
