White Noise

I heard a barely audible sound coming from the outside of my room. So general the explanation? Yes, since I was in my room, naturally the sound would, and to varying degrees, come from the outside of my room. Though, the main point was that I didn't like the sound. It was a mix between wheezing and scratching.

Scratchy wheeze continued outside somewhere moving slowly to and from my door, much like pacing. Since it's a noise, closing my eyes did nothing but make it louder. I felt as if perhaps the dim light coming from the window cancelled the noise somewhat. If that made sense at all.

And then, nothing. As if the sound was just something I had come up with to pierce the defening silence of the empty room.
