PenPal Part 1/6 "Footsteps" by Dathan Auerbach
This is long, so I apologize for that.
I’ve never had to tell this story with enough detail to actually explain it all the way, but it is true and it happened when I was about 6 years old.
In a quiet room if you press your ear against a pillow you can hear your heartbeat.
As a kid, the muffled, rhythmic beats sounded like soft footsteps on a carpeted floor,
and so as a kid almost every night – just as I was about to drift off to sleep –
I would hear these footsteps and I would be ripped back to consciousness, terrified.
