"An Eerie Visitation."

It was unsettling to say the least...

We both lay between the sheets keeping
ourselves warm with the body heat that
our chemistry created from being naked
and within each others loving embrace

We had made tender love and then relished
in the afterglow of the intense orgasms that
we had both achieved in the giving-in of our
fleshly tastes

We cherished it with pillow-talk afterwards,
talking about everything and nothing and at
times with not saying a word - just lying and
looking into one another's eyes is worth a
million lines

The room smelled of the richness of pheromones
that filled every square inch of its square space

It was dark with just enough light to make out
the shadows of things that you'd expect in the
still of the night

Around 3 in the morning, just a couple hours past
the Witching Hour; there was no reason though to
expect that anything could happen that'd be afoul

I held my Love close and tight in my arms to steady
her from the trembling that she was enjoying and
listened to her talking of the future together and of
what she imagined life should be

But as I did I began to be aware of something; something
more here than just us two

The atmosphere was slowly but most definitely shifting
into something that wasn't as warm and endearing as it
just a few minutes before was

Coldness drifted-in; I think back now and realize that it was
preceding an morose and unsettled entity that wasn't akin
to the world that we are living in

My senses begin to shift from the Realm of the Sensual
into that of the supernatural and heightened to an level
that I arrived at through the study of arcane things

I continued to focus on her words not letting it be known
what was going on so as to her not to disturb

The bed we lay in was near a window that was covered
with an thin bed sheet; there was a door across from us
that had begun to drop from wore out hinges and now had
at the top made an void through which the light in the
hallway could be seen

My peripheral having always been keen caught as I looked
at her the obstruction of that light over the space in the door
and I turned to see it full

What I saw was to say the least an unearthly thing

It would not have been as unsettling, I guess, if the thing that
caused the blockage of the light was something within the
room floating in front of the door from right to left or even from
the left to the right; but, that wasn't it at all, because what I
saw didn't fit this description at all

This thing that interrupted our shared serenity seemed to drift
in through the gap, down into the room and I could see it as the
light once again appeared and this formless, blackened phantom
made itself known to the space we were at

I looked around even more observantly now trying to ascertain all
the light and shape that I could and now beside me she noticed my
broken concentration that I once had not spared and queried what
it was that I was doing: knowing me and how I acted this wasn't
at all surprising

But I told her "Oh, it's nothing; just looking around and enjoying the
peacefulness and you my Lady,"

I listened to her again and closed my eyes to see if my minds vision
would pick up on anything: "Amazing Goddammit:" I begin to see in
there mental-visions of creatures and images of ghost-like beings with
distorted faces that resembled Halloween masks; but, instead of just
looking like masks, they looked more like the actual visages that they
did bare

Then from the closet that was to the left of us with its door wide-opened
I saw descending from the top and out into the room the same phantom-
like black apparition that came in through the crack at the top of the door
just minutes before

And I then decided that it's time to move

I got up and turned on the light and my Wife asked me what was the matter
and after telling her to my surprise she told me that she was glad because
she had felt an creepy and unsettling feeling in the room but didn't want to
say anything

You would think this to be the end but it only gets better

We left the room and entered into the hallway where to our right is the bathroom
and to the left Da-da-da-da, the "Mother-n-Laws" room

She still awake, we decided to tell her of our encounter and she had her own
contribution to add to this unfolding tale

It seems that at about an half hour before (about the same time that I had saw the
thing slipping-in through the top of the door) our daughter had gotten up and came
down the hallway to use the restroom and the Grandma able to see her and the
bathroom clearly, watched her and asked her who the person was walking in front
of her, to which our daughter said "No One Grandma," but, being sure that someone
was in front asked her several times, only receiving the same, "No One," answer

She told us that she watched and having clear view into the bathroom didn't see
it go in there, and neither did it turn and go into her room

So, the only reasonable option was that this same being that she saw ahead of
our daughter was the same entity that I at the same time saw coming through
the crack above the door and descending into the room where we lay
