She creeped around the doorway, peeking her eyes first. The cool floorboards pulsed up and through her tiny toes. She swung her head around to look for the switch that would make the monsters go away. The room illuminated with yellow unnatural light.

She made it onto the cushy surface, she was safeā€¦.for now.
