"Luminous glow"

John got up from bed. "I'll be back love."

I nodded. The light from the bathroom lit the room slightly. I sat up quickly. 'Something was wrong.' I reached for my purse and took out my Glock. There, "John look out!" The figure was fast, a dark blur moving fluidly throw the luminous glow. I saw a flash of metallic sheen. It sliced the air toward John. I fired. I fired several times into the figure, it flopped and appeared to dangle in mid-air like some puppet with tangled strings, then it dropped with a deep thud. A dark ghostly figured landed on the bed, I fired again. It fluttered back against the opposite wall, splattering the bed and myself with blood. I jumped out of bed. Something grabbed my leg, I fired from reflex, it let go. "John!"

Another flash of metallic sheen caught my eye, then something leathery hit me across the face. I crumpled to the floor and blacked out.
