It started out like a normal evening. I was sitting at my computer, mindlessly clicking videos, bored. My brain was half empty — sluggishly processing images of Let's Players playing horror versions of My Little Pony. Funny. Childishly scary. Naive. Until a while.

And then — click.
The room was drowning in darkness.

The electricity went out without warning, as if someone had been waiting for me to immerse myself in the most disturbing video. And now — darkness. Complete, viscous, enveloping.
The windows didn't help — it was the dead of night outside, and the streetlights had also gone out. Only darkness.
Darkness and me.
I saw nothing. Absolutely nothing. I only heard...my breathing and heartbeat.
A quiet rustle, as if someone had passed by.
I tried to convince myself that it was a cat, or the creaking of the parquet, or that I had simply touched something myself, by accident. But my mind... it was already poisoned by fear. The same fear that slowly drips into your ears while you lie in bed, afraid to turn over. The fear that creeps up behind your back.

I couldn't fall asleep. I just couldn't.
As soon as I opened my eyes and looked into the darkness, I saw IT.

A face. Broken, as if from someone else's dream.
A smile. Not joyful, but painful, insanely wide and bloody.
And eyes. Enormous, empty, black, terrible, but full of conscious attention. It looked straight at me. Without blinking. Without breathing.
Waiting.

I felt that IT was waiting.
Not just watching - but evaluating.
What choice would I make? Hide under the blanket like a child? Should I try to scream? Or maybe try to sleep — and then open my eyes inside his world?

That night I finally passed out. I don't remember how. I don't remember what happened in the dream, but I woke up with the feeling that IT was closer than I thought.
The light came back again. There was a bright light outside the window and now there was no darkness. Everything seemed to be as before. But the fear... it remained. It crawled somewhere under my skin.

That's why I opened Adobe Animate and Adobe Photoshop. I tried to draw IT. The one who lived in the darkness of my room. Who watched. Who waited. I did what I was most afraid of — I gave IT a face. Since I saw IT after watching creepy MLP games, I decided to make Pinkie Pie, since she is usually depicted in horror games as a scary character

The last frame of the animation is the ending, the ending that I was really afraid to see...
