He panicked instinctively grabbing the door knob, pulling on it, but it would not budge. The lights in the bathroom flickered uncontrollably, the sink ran, the shower turned on, along with Belinda's blow dryer and the toilet flushed repeatedly.
"Someone help!" he yelled. The creature let out a menacing squeal, and he cupped his ears.

"Leave me alone!" He shouted. The blankets slid off of him as a force dragged him by his feet. When he glanced down to see what was pulling him, he saw nothing.
"Belinda wake up!" He cried, but she seemed too deep in sleep even to the point of snoring. He fell to the ground and sat up looking around.
