It came every night for a month: a small, black bird that emanated evil. From 2 a.m. to 3 a.m., I’d see it on the windowsill. Sometimes it would ‘tap tap tap’ on the glass; other times I would hear it try to open the window or find other ways in. At first, I’d watch it with a flashlight, but its beady eyes were too unsettling. I thought about letting it in once, just to see what it wanted.
By the third night I was sure that it... it wanted me to let it in. I I tried ignoring it; I even took sleeping pills before bed, hoping to get through its noise, its silent pleas. No matter what I did, I’d wake up exactly when it landed outside. Everyone thought it was kind of funny, but they didn’t understand—the thing had a heavy presence and looked in with such hate. It wanted in to hurt me. It wanted in because it needed to hurt me. And, for some reason, there was only a moment I considered, no, wanted, it to.
Then fall came and I never saw it again.
