You have been awake past twelve, not even a bit tired. You blamed the jellies that your family brought back home very late.
But, you've haven't gotten any sleep at all the whole week, not including the jellies. You just wanted to close your eyes and finally see a slight picture of a dream.

However, you just stared at the ceiling. The longer you stared, you started to hear a ticking sound. It grew louder and louder as each time you blinked. You started to hear more noise in the background, feeling like you've finally become delusional.

All of a sudden-

"It's past your bedtime..." fear jolted through your veins. You didn't know it was this bad. But, the ticking sound remained. Was it actually someone..?
