Who’s there? – Short Horror Story

I've never been one to openly share my experiences in fear of being labeled "weird" or "crazy" but as I got older I've met people who have had similar experiences, so I don't feel alone in it all. Sounds cliché but its a core memory in my mind.

I had my own room growing up and I was always rearranging the furniture in there. On this occasion I had put my twin sized bed long side up against the wall, so the foot of the bed faced the door. I liked it that way because then I had a ton of space in the middle of my room to play. Mind you I was between the ages of 9 and 10. As night fell I got ready for bed, feeling extra tired from spending the day rearranging my furniture and playing outside in the summer heat. I fell asleep quickly, but this didn't last long.

I remember opening my eyes and gasping for air, I looked into the darkness of my room and saw that my bedroom door was opened up a crack, letting in the light from the hallway seep in. I then looked towards my closets, which are full length mirrors, and saw a black figure wearing a boulder hat and long jacket standing beside my bed. I froze and tears began to slid down my face. I then felt pressure on my chest as if someone was pushing down on it, my breathing faltered and I closed my eyes. I heard my name being called and I started to pray. I opened one eye and saw a mans face smiling evilly back at me. I shut that eye and opened my mouth with only a squeak escaping it. I felt the pressure grow on my chest and with all my might I finally screamed and started flaying my body around. I felt him trying to hold me down and an evil cackle. I fought and fought, pleading for it to stop.

My parents ran into my room expecting to see an intruder but just found me curled up in a fetal position crying and gasping for air. I told them what I saw and how I prayed. They consoled me and I slept on the couch. The next day I moved my bed to the other side of the room, hoping to never see it again. I didn't, but he left his mark.
