Things aren't Always as they Seem...

There’s something in the corner at the end of the hallway, something obscure, something dark and mysterious. It’s creeping closer, out of the darkness. It’s casting a shadow on the wall, tall, thin with strangely long arms that hang from its shoulders a few centre metres from the floorboards beneath its feet.
I’m petrified, naturally and start backing away quietly.
It keeps coming closer and closer, approaching quite rapidly with its insanely long, dark legs. It finally gets to me and I shut my eyes in terror.
Nothing happens… Silence fills the air and I become less tense. I open my eyes and there, at my feet is a small dog followed closely by an odd looking old man. He chuckles “I’s a bit chilly out there and I forgot my coat,” he smiles. I watch as he continues walking to room 206, disappears for a moment then pops back out and gets into the elevator.
Things aren’t always as they seem.
