NARAYANNE: The Rustling

The light shut off, engulfing Jason in darkness again. But there was something different. He could sense it. "Is someone there?" He waited for a reply, but got none. But then a moment later, he heard a rustling noise. It was in the room with him. He was sure of it. "Who's there?!" he yelled. Fortunately, the rustling wasn't getting closer. It was just there. But that was bad enough. Especially since he couldn't see. He tried to move back, away from the unsettling noise, but every time he moved, the noise seemed to move with him. "Oh, I wish I could see." He also wished that wishes could come true, but that was obviously fantasy. His heart began to race. What was making that noise? What was down in this dark dungeon with him? Could it be an alien? As he sat there in the darkness, these thoughts flew through his mind. But the only question he wanted answered right now was: How does he get out of there?
