Kim yawns and grumbles to herself that it's time for bed, walking out of the bathroom and down the hall to her bedroom. Opening the door, she hits the light switch with no responce. "Oh yeah," she mumbles to herself as she remembers the burned out bulb in her lamp. Kim closes the door and walks across the dark room, lit only by a dim street light outside the window. She strips off her remaining clothes, and gropes around her dresser for her night shirt. Once found she slips it over her head and climbs into her bed.
Lying there, she lets out a sigh, finally relaxing, but the sigh catches in her throat as she hears a sound in the darkness. Kim holds her breath and listens, hearing only her own heart beat echoing in her ears for several moments before the sound is heard again. It seems to be coming from under the bed. Repeating that there's no such things at monsters, Kim peers over the edge of the bed to see what the noise is.
