It stares at me from across the hallway, and I can’t help but stare back, it feels as if we are both frozen in place, unable to make a sound. I consider making a run for it but i can’t stop staring directly at it, god it feels like this hallway goes on forever, but those eyes never cease to gaze directly into my soul.

“I can do this”, I tell myself over and over again until I ultimately work up the strength to make a stand. I put an end to the staring by finally closing my eyes. All forty of them. I run as fast as I can, up the sides of the walls as extra sets of legs burst out of my body. The silence is broken by the screams of the scared child as I reach my victim and claim my dinner. I open my eyes once again to see him staring back at me with his lifeless eyes.
