Seven Day Death

"I'm not crazy, I'm not crazy, I'm not crazy…"

Rachel hugged herself tighter as she stared with unblinking eyes at the clock on the wall. It was approaching 3am, the witching hour. For the past six nights a creature which was neither human nor animal had arrived at this time to add another mark to her knee. Tonight was to be its final visit.

"No-one else can see it," said Rachel aloud. "Why can't they see it? What does it want with me?"

The girl looked around at her surroundings. At first she had been happy to be taken to a mental institution as she thought she would be safe from the monster there, but each night another line on her mark was added, and the things she saw became more detached from reality. The staff didn't believe her. They had shown her a tape which claimed that nothing had entered her cell, but she knew that wasn't true, for she had seen the creature with her own eyes, and felt it touch her skin.

"I'm not crazy, I'm not crazy! I'm-"

Rachel saw her breath was now hovering in the air. She raised herself from the floor and straightened her medical gown. There were goosebumps along her arms and legs. A tingling sensation ran down her spine and her mouth became dry. She knew that her death was imminent. The monster was coming and it was going to kill her.

"No, leave me alone! I didn't do anything! I don't want to die!"

"No-one escapes the hands of providence," whispered a haughty voice. "You're time has come."

"No, no, NO!"
