awoke with a jerk
flooded in adrenalin
tidal wave across my heart
bedside lamp came on
with fumbling
grasping
fingers still clumsy from sleep
as the light bloomed
eyes sought
caressing each shadowed surface
in search of the It
terror tingled the nape of my neck
and I willed the air
in & out
in & out
the It couldn't follow me out
wasn't lurking by the foot
biding its time
as the pace slowed
in & out
breath ragged
licking dry lips
i feel the It leave
