A Noise in the Dark

I wake up... But am I awake? All around me is darkness; I can't see a thing. Behind me I hear a clicking noise. I spin around, peering through the darkness to try and find the source of the noise to no avail. The clicking soon turns to an awful screeching noise. I cover my ears to try and block it out. It doesn't help. This... sound, I think I have heard it before. It sounds like the nails of my old teacher on the blackboard that she used to get us to stop doing what we were doing. It is like that, only much worse. The sound gets closer, closer still. I back up as far as I can, only to find myself pressed against a cool dark wall.

The noise gets me again and I scream, the sound echoing around me in waves. I feel something sharp and smooth caress my cheek and I shudder away. In an instant, the monster has sliced my cheek and I feel warm blood dripping down my face. I know that this is the end for me. I can only hope that it ends quickly, but I fear that this thing has other plans for me.
