... The door slowly opened, revealing the dark figure from the alleyway. 7 feet tall, and at least 250 pounds of pure evil. In his hand rested the handle of a very large baseball bat. He stood motionless for a moment, and then began to menacingly move towards me. I'm trapped. This is the end.
Shaniqua was jarred from her sleep. The same dream had taunted her dreams now for a week straight, even though the person who had opened the door a week before had been the janitor. At least I have a bed to sleep on, Shaniqua thought to herself. The manager of Motel 2 had recently placed a room down for maintenance, and while it was being remodeled, Shaniqua was allowed to spend the nights in them, free of charge. The nights had not been very productive, however; Shaniqua was getting little sleep because of the recurring nightmare.
The figure seemed very familiar. Shaniqua sat on the edge of the bed trying to visualize his face, but all she could think of was the large, hollow, bat in his hand. After 10 minutes of trying, Shaniqua slowly got to her feet and lumbered towards the door to continue her job hunt. Going around the corner on the staircase, she came face to face with the faceless man.

Blog Entry #6
$65.50, the amount of money Shaniqua Washington King owned. After selling her engagement ring at the Pawn store, Shaniqua had bought a Christmas present for the owner of Forever 21. With the extra money and all of her savings, she had spent the last two months living in Motel 2, across Sunset Terrace from Castle Apartments. The sum of her wealth would last two more days, by her calculations.
Wearily, Shaniqua turned out the overhead light and crawled into bed. Home sweet home, she thought to herself. A loud crash out the window startled Shaniqua. Quickly jumping to her feet, Shaniqua turned on the light and rushed to the window just in time to see a menacing looking figure dressed in all black sprinting out of the alley between the roller skating rink and the bowling alley. "He has to be at least 6 & 1/2 feet," Shaniqua whispered under her breath. The 'man' suddenly came to a stop, and appeared to stare straight at Shaniqua. Quickly realizing her mistake, she rushed to the light switch and quickly flipped it off. Shaniqua then went over to the couch and inched it up against the door. Satisfied with a job well done, Shaniqua shuffled back to the bed and laid down, closing her eyes.
Footsteps creaked along the hallway, jarring Shaniqua from her sleep. The door handle began to turn, and then light flooded in to Shaniqua Washington King's room as the door opened outwards.
