Cliche Alert! Cliche Alert!

Tap! Tap! Tap! The sound, so quiet most would not hear, aroused her from sleep. As Janine strained to listen, she realised the noise came from the window. She rubbed the tiredness from her face, yawned, accepting the inevitable -- that she would likely not get back to sleep -- and stumbled towards the window, where she flung the curtains aside and looked out.

A man with lidless sunken eyes and pale, translucent skin stared back at her. A slow grin spread across his face as their gazes locked.

Her feet would not move.
