Unwelcome guest

At first it is a dark spot. It looms and darts from your view. Behind a painting. Onto the ceiling now. Your attention now gathered, you can see it clearly. Your entire being shudders. Your heart grows still and your chest fills with icy, cold dread. It has stopped, the unwelcome guest. Waiting motionless for you to turn your back. You will not turn your back though. Never turn your back on an unwelcome guest. How to drive it away? One does not touch an unwelcome guest. One does not encourage them. How to drive it away? Oh no, it's moving again. You jump from your outer skin, shedding it and your courage. You dive for the safety of the hallway. Looking back, it has stopped again. You are frightened. Shaking and terrified, it is almost ridiculous to be so frightened. You want to cry. Scream. Panic. Throw things. You must do something. This guest is done and needs eviction. Send it home, pathetic and crushed. Away and gone. Go, how to make it go? How to drive it away? Loathsome unwelcome guest. Leaving it's dirty footprints all over your home. Fumbling now, you are fumbling. Your hand rests upon your shoe. Ready now, your hand is ready. Where is the guest? Dreadful guest-- it has moved again! Gone? Never. It is above your window. Too faraway. But you cannot leave it there. A chair. You need a chair. A boost. Gain the higher ground. That's the Jedi way. Be one with the force. Your light saber ready. Above your head you raise your weapon. Above. Raised high. Ready? Ready?!

Thwack!
