One. The something. Something lingers outside my room. I am paralyzed. My hand-quilted blankets no longer feel like a warm cocoon but a straight jacket. | Raina | 171.244965 | 26.197283 | 74.069763 | 57.035095 | slightly slowly | wʌn. ðʌ sʌmθɪŋ. sʌmθɪŋ lɪŋɡɜ˞z aʊtsaɪd maɪ ɹum. aɪ æm pɛɹʌlaɪzd. maɪ hænd-kwɪltɪd blæŋkʌts noʊ lɔŋɡɜ˞ fil laɪk ʌ wɔɹm kʌkun bʌt ʌ stɹeɪt dʒækʌt. | 0.987807 | 26.718796 | 3.687331 | quite clear | slightly confined sounding | slightly monotone | very clear | great speech quality |

They lace me to my bed. They strangle.

And then the something outside my bedroom creeps nearer.

I do not know what will happen then, and I do not want to learn.

They cut through the moonlight like knives, turning it into a lattice of sharp angles.

And over it. The four or five slivers of light that touch the dark shape reveal only tiny pieces of it, forcing me to glimpse it as though my eyes were pressed to a keyhole. | Raina | 186.174728 | 35.312382 | 67.259773 | 59.819313 | quite slowly | ʌnd oʊvɜ˞ ɪt. ðʌ fɔɹ ɔɹ faɪv slɪvɜ˞z ʌv laɪt ðæt tʌtʃ ðʌ dɑɹk ʃeɪp ɹɪvil oʊnli taɪni pisʌz ʌv ɪt, fɔɹsɪŋ mi tu ɡlɪmps ɪt æz ðoʊ maɪ aɪz wɜ˞ pɹɛst tu ʌ kihoʊl. | 0.99613 | 26.946711 | 3.618068 | moderate ambient sound | very confined sounding | slightly monotone | very clear | great speech quality |

Grayness with a tinge of sickly green. Skin or clothing, impossible to tell.

My toes touch the plush rug in the center of the room.

It holds paperwork. Stacks of it, meticulously ordered.

My journal is starting to gather dust across its leather jacket.

Behind that clutter is a lifeline. My phone.

I spent a quarter of my paycheck on it at a thrift store. Regretted it before I arrived home.

Convinced that the thrift store staff would send each other knowing looks as I sheepishly pulled it out of my bag.

My knees feel flimsy, as though they are built out of cardboard, unused to holding my weight.

A thudding footfall echoes from the hole. Has it tired of my bathroom?

The phone's dial is a circle of faded numbers.

The dial tone greets me, and I press it against my chest, muffling it, agonizingly aware of how far sound travels in the dead of night. | Raina | 178.865509 | 43.041595 | 65.312866 | 59.496742 | very slowly | ðʌ daɪʌl toʊn ɡɹits mi, ʌnd aɪ pɹɛs ɪt ʌɡɛnst maɪ tʃɛst, mʌflɪŋ ɪt, æɡʌnaɪzɪŋli ʌwɛɹ ʌv haʊ fɑɹ saʊnd tɹævʌlz ɪn ðʌ dɛd ʌv naɪt. | 0.998316 | 27.586536 | 4.049959 | slightly noisy | very confined sounding | moderate intonation | very clear | wonderful speech quality |

My first impulse is to call my sister, but she lives hours away.

So I cut straight to that second choice.

to not be trapped here with the something.

Hello? The woman on the phone joins the chorus, | Raina | 225.438293 | 93.310608 | 31.053923 | 56.294727 | quite slowly | hʌloʊ? ðʌ wʊmʌn ɑn ðʌ foʊn dʒɔɪnz ðʌ kɔɹʌs, | 0.966614 | 28.968273 | 4.004935 | very noisy | moderate reverberation | very expressive | very clear | wonderful speech quality |
|
Hello? It breaks my nerves. The receiver slips from my hold. The sleek wooden piece twists on its cord as it falls, | Raina | 220.344482 | 57.251999 | 69.278717 | 59.888359 | very slowly | hʌloʊ? ɪt bɹeɪks maɪ nɜ˞vz. ðʌ ɹʌsivɜ˞ slɪps fɹʌm maɪ hoʊld. ðʌ slik wʊdʌn pis twɪsts ɑn ɪts kɔɹd æz ɪt fɔlz, | 0.99759 | 29.261368 | 3.882817 | slightly clear | very confined sounding | slightly expressive | very clear | wonderful speech quality |
|
then hits the floor with a resounding thud. The something moves. | Raina | 161.269806 | 22.357676 | 67.64016 | 53.335194 | quite slowly | ðɛn hɪts ðʌ flɔɹ wɪð ʌ ɹisaʊndɪŋ θʌd. ðʌ sʌmθɪŋ muvz. | 0.994685 | 29.34911 | 3.648828 | moderate ambient sound | very roomy sounding | quite monotone | very clear | great speech quality |
|
I was right. It doesn't need to shamble. It comes toward me with horrible speed, | Raina | 235.239594 | 55.344913 | 70.961205 | 59.8484 | very slowly | aɪ wɑz ɹaɪt. ɪt 'ti nid tu ʃæmbʌl. ɪt kʌmz tʌwɔɹd mi wɪð hɔɹʌbʌl spid, | 0.993156 | 23.169054 | 3.358457 | slightly clear | very confined sounding | slightly expressive | almost no noise | great speech quality |
|
terrible power, its eyes as round as twin moons, boring into me, | Raina | 219.477463 | 41.995556 | 61.662224 | 59.890018 | very slowly | tɛɹʌbʌl paʊɜ˞, ɪts aɪz æz ɹaʊnd æz twɪn munz, bɔɹɪŋ ɪntu mi, | 0.995743 | 30.060894 | 3.82524 | quite noisy | very confined sounding | moderate intonation | very clear | wonderful speech quality |
|
and I finally find enough voice to scream. The back of my legs hit the desk's chair. | Raina | 229.427002 | 54.534645 | 70.207367 | 59.831573 | very slowly | ʌnd aɪ faɪnʌli faɪnd ɪnʌf vɔɪs tu skɹim. ðʌ bæk ʌv maɪ lɛɡz hɪt ðʌ dɛsk'ɛs tʃɛɹ. | 0.998882 | 30.521276 | 4.058986 | slightly clear | very confined sounding | slightly expressive | very clear | wonderful speech quality |
|
I fall to the floor, sparks of pain rising from my elbow, but immaterial in the face of what is before me. | Raina | 215.867935 | 55.059479 | 61.036255 | 59.891247 | quite slowly | aɪ fɔl tu ðʌ flɔɹ, spɑɹks ʌv peɪn ɹaɪzɪŋ fɹʌm maɪ ɛlboʊ, bʌt ɪmʌtɪɹiʌl ɪn ðʌ feɪs ʌv wʌt ɪz bɪfɔɹ mi. | 0.998176 | 22.327805 | 3.672439 | quite noisy | very confined sounding | slightly expressive | almost no noise | great speech quality |
|
The something stands where I stood just a second before, the shattered light bringing it into terrible resolution, | Raina | 213.104385 | 33.751297 | 70.01577 | 59.830303 | quite slowly | ðʌ sʌmθɪŋ stændz wɛɹ aɪ stʊd dʒʌst ʌ sɛkʌnd bɪfɔɹ, ðʌ ʃætɜ˞d laɪt bɹɪŋɪŋ ɪt ɪntu tɛɹʌbʌl ɹɛzʌluʃʌn, | 0.990475 | 26.991344 | 3.696961 | slightly clear | very confined sounding | slightly monotone | very clear | great speech quality |
|
and I wish it had stayed in the fog of shadows. The head rotates, the pupil-less eyes turning to stare down at me. | Raina | 216.038681 | 50.74268 | 69.399101 | 59.700253 | very slowly | ʌnd aɪ wɪʃ ɪt hæd steɪd ɪn ðʌ fɑɡ ʌv ʃædoʊz. ðʌ hɛd ɹoʊteɪts, ðʌ pjupʌl-lɛs aɪz tɜ˞nɪŋ tu stɛɹ daʊn æt mi. | 0.995382 | 29.390944 | 3.280932 | slightly clear | very confined sounding | slightly expressive | very clear | great speech quality |
|
I'm sprawled, braced on my heels and my lower back and elbows, and hyper-aware of every vulnerable part of my body. | Raina | 195.526566 | 29.691658 | 66.292122 | 59.854713 | quite slowly | aɪ'ɛm spɹɔld, bɹeɪst ɑn maɪ hilz ʌnd maɪ loʊɜ˞ bæk ʌnd ɛlboʊz, ʌnd haɪpɜ˞-ʌwɛɹ ʌv ɛvɜ˞i vʌlnɜ˞ʌbʌl pɑɹt ʌv maɪ bɑdi. | 0.996186 | 30.729107 | 4.060876 | moderate ambient sound | very confined sounding | slightly monotone | very clear | wonderful speech quality |
|
My stomach, my inner thighs, my face. They are all turned toward the creature, | Raina | 226.950272 | 34.426949 | 65.801437 | 59.578541 | very slowly | maɪ stʌmʌk, maɪ ɪnɜ˞ θaɪz, maɪ feɪs. ðeɪ ɑɹ ɔl tɜ˞nd tʌwɔɹd ðʌ kɹitʃɜ˞, | 0.994399 | 23.375738 | 3.660775 | moderate ambient sound | very confined sounding | slightly monotone | almost no noise | great speech quality |
|
exposed, and I may as well be offering myself up as a sacrifice. The something's body rotates to match its immobile head. | Raina | 187.096527 | 48.498554 | 69.65567 | 59.329758 | very slowly | ɪkspoʊzd, ʌnd aɪ meɪ æz wɛl bi ɔfɜ˞ɪŋ maɪsɛlf ʌp æz ʌ sækɹʌfaɪs. ðʌ sʌmθɪŋ'ɛs bɑdi ɹoʊteɪts tu mætʃ ɪts ɪmoʊbʌl hɛd. | 0.998622 | 31.187731 | 4.129206 | slightly clear | very confined sounding | moderate intonation | very clear | wonderful speech quality |
|
I scramble backward, feet kicking at the smooth floor, dust sticking to my palms, desperate to gain space from the shaggy thing looming above me. | Raina | 193.525253 | 40.74725 | 58.566521 | 59.804543 | very slowly | aɪ skɹæmbʌl bækwɜ˞d, fit kɪkɪŋ æt ðʌ smuð flɔɹ, dʌst stɪkɪŋ tu maɪ pɑmz, dɛspɹɪt tu ɡeɪn speɪs fɹʌm ðʌ ʃæɡi θɪŋ lumɪŋ ʌbʌv mi. | 0.998634 | 28.148769 | 3.774871 | very noisy | very confined sounding | moderate intonation | very clear | great speech quality |
|
The receiver hangs, one end resting on the floor, the other suspended by the twisting line. | Raina | 193.985931 | 38.643692 | 68.67041 | 59.912956 | very slowly | ðʌ ɹʌsivɜ˞ hæŋz, wʌn ɛnd ɹɛstɪŋ ɑn ðʌ flɔɹ, ðʌ ʌðɜ˞ sʌspɛndɪd baɪ ðʌ twɪstɪŋ laɪn. | 0.996642 | 32.131004 | 3.793748 | slightly clear | very confined sounding | moderate intonation | very clear | great speech quality |
|
And in the unnatural still of night, the voice floats from it. Hello? Hello? | Raina | 198.407471 | 68.761139 | 72.665207 | 57.478176 | quite slowly | ʌnd ɪn ðʌ ʌnnætʃɜ˞ʌl stɪl ʌv naɪt, ðʌ vɔɪs floʊts fɹʌm ɪt. hʌloʊ? hʌloʊ? | 0.986254 | 11.349971 | 3.423325 | quite clear | slightly confined sounding | quite expressive | slightly noisy | great speech quality |
|
The something's voice is broken. It might be laughing, | Raina | 211.33783 | 52.070438 | 74.103752 | 58.950977 | quite slowly | ðʌ sʌmθɪŋ'ɛs vɔɪs ɪz bɹoʊkʌn. ɪt maɪt bi læfɪŋ, | 0.979916 | 25.829414 | 3.251603 | quite clear | very confined sounding | slightly expressive | very clear | moderate speech quality |

but the sound is as inhuman as the words.

Hello? Hello? My shoulder blades hit the closet. I reach behind myself, | Raina | 195.604477 | 49.894764 | 71.502975 | 58.80835 | quite slowly | hʌloʊ? hʌloʊ? maɪ ʃoʊldɜ˞ bleɪdz hɪt ðʌ klɑzʌt. aɪ ɹitʃ bɪhaɪnd maɪsɛlf, | 0.974848 | 13.727181 | 3.281931 | slightly clear | quite confined sounding | slightly expressive | slightly noisy | great speech quality |

arms stretching above my head as I blindly seek the doorknob. It clicks as it opens. I use my heels to kick my way inside. | Raina | 207.195435 | 43.060806 | 67.256615 | 59.866901 | quite slowly | ɑɹmz stɹɛtʃɪŋ ʌbʌv maɪ hɛd æz aɪ blaɪndli sik ðʌ duɹnɑb. ɪt klɪks æz ɪt oʊpʌnz. aɪ jus maɪ hilz tu kɪk maɪ weɪ ɪnsaɪd. | 0.997259 | 28.204342 | 3.85334 | moderate ambient sound | very confined sounding | moderate intonation | very clear | wonderful speech quality |

The circular eyes flash. With no pupil and no iris, it's impossible to tell whether it's looking at me or through me. | Raina | 203.912109 | 45.252663 | 69.543381 | 59.848587 | very slowly | ðʌ sɜ˞kjʌlɜ˞ aɪz flæʃ. wɪð noʊ pjupʌl ʌnd noʊ aɪɹʌs, ɪt'ɛs ɪmpɑsʌbʌl tu tɛl wɛðɜ˞ ɪt'ɛs lʊkɪŋ æt mi ɔɹ θɹu mi. | 0.993365 | 30.107761 | 3.791522 | slightly clear | very confined sounding | moderate intonation | very clear | great speech quality |
