Mom? – Short Horror Story

(It's a true story, which happened when I was about 10 yo.)

The nightmare shocks me awake. I should be relieved that I woke up from that terrible nightmare, but the feeling lingers with me, I'm trembling with fear. I lay as still as possible, my body feels feverish as I'm drenched in sweat. I peek out from under my blanket, the vast darkness that stretches out to the far end of the room reeks danger. Suddenly the door at the far end of my room opens just a little, filling the room with a soft glow of the hallway light. I'm relieved to find my mom standing in the gap of the door looking at me. I call for her, eager for her to hug me and tell me I'm safe. But just as I do she moves away from the door. Not wanting to spend one more moment alone in this frightening room, I jump out of my bed and sprint after her as fast as I can. She's not in the hallway, so I sprint into her room. I'm shocked to find her asleep in her bed, when she was standing in the doorway just a few seconds ago. I shake her awake while I call out for her, hoping there is some logical explanation. She wakes up with a groggy murmur, seemingly annoyed I'm disturbing her sleep. I ask her why she was standing in my doorway just now, and ask her why she walked away. She just looks at me with a what are you on about face and gruffs at me to leave her alone.

But if that thing wasn't my mom, what was it? And why was it staring at me in the dark?

Btw; My mom never been a person to joke around in any kind of way, so she couldn't have done this to f*ck with me. She was quite annoyed when I woke her up. (More like her usual self, she was always mad or annoyed)
