I froze the moment I noticed them.
At first, I could not understand what I was seeing.
On the dusty floor beside my bed were several small, dark shapes, curled and twisted in strange positions. They were partly covered by strands of hair, dust, and tiny pieces of debris that had gathered in the corner over time.
For a few uneasy seconds, my mind tried to make sense of the scene.
Then the fear set in.
The objects looked oddly organic. They did not look like ordinary dirt, lint, or anything that should have been in a bedroom. They looked more like tiny bodies, as if something small had died there and been left behind.
Suddenly, every unpleasant possibility crossed my mind.
The longer I stared, the more disturbing they seemed. Their curled shapes looked unnatural. Their dark color made them appear old and dried out. The fact that they were so close to my bed made the discovery feel even more unsettling.
Questions started racing through my head.
