Each time the light flickered the apparition drew closer.

Sometimes it seemed to retreat, but mostly it progressed forward at a frightening if staggered pace.

Frozen in my chair, toes chilled, fingers frosty, micro-beads of sweat bubbled on the back of my neck. The urge to scream died with the realization that I lived alone and the neighbors wouldn't hear.

It loomed above me, opening its maw, "Why did you change the Wi-Fi password?!"
