Pitch Black

You drop to the floor as quickly as possible and regret hitting your head so roughly against the stone floor. The pain is bad but you try to stay as still as possible, breathing shallowly. You can feel the monster approach, it's so large you can feel its footsteps resonate through the ground. It stops for a moment, then you feel its warm breath on your skin. It's sniffling, taking in your scent. It moves around a little bit more and you feel it retreat a bit. You wait a moment, and are pretty sure that it's gone. Subtly you open your eyes to look and find it staring straight back at you. The next thing you know there's a blinding white pain.
