Under a Spell (Cheating, Risky, Magic, BBW)
Rune stepped down into the main living room space of his studio apartment casting his gaze around. All through the last several nights he’d woken up at 1am to the sound of a muted thud in his apartment. Since the entire interior space was one room essentially this made it sound like someone had entered his apartment. Rune checked the sliding glass door to his patio and found it locked tight still but the sense of another presence remained. He couldn’t understand what was making the noise? Even in the dark with nothing but the light from an outside lamp filtering through the patio door, he saw nothing out of the ordinary. A shudder crept through him as he scanned the room from floor to ceiling. The main living space had a high ceiling, 18 feet or so, and in the dark the space seemed to yawn open like a greyish maw.
Rune shook his head. He had no issue imagining shadow figures or anything spooky jumping from out of corners in his minds eye. Knowing he’d only lose more sleep he tromped back up the stairs to his bedroom area. He crawled back beneath his sheets and sighed when the thump sounded again. He ignored the noise and soon he returned to sleep.
