Cap 01

Alone at home, I was watching a horror movie with my bowl of popcorn, sitting on my comfortable sofa... It was exactly 10:30 PM and the movie had barely started.

While I was peacefully watching the movie, I heard a noise coming from outside and went to look out the window. I didn't see anything strange, so I thought, "It must have been some kind of dog."I watched the movie again..."

[...]

After a while, the movie was almost over and I had already finished all the popcorn, so I paused the movie to go to the bathroom.

Leaving the bathroom, I went to the kitchen to get some water. As soon as I picked up the glass, I dropped it when I heard another noise, this time coming from inside the house. Startled, I tiptoed to the living room and looked around, but I didn't see anything or anyone.

I thought it might be all in my head since I was watching a horror movie alone.

I went back to the kitchen and cleaned the window, carefully wiping everything down. Then I returned to the living room, still a little shaken, but I wanted to finish the movie.

[...] 

I finished the movie feeling relaxed and decided to go to sleep; it was late and I had to go to school tomorrow.

I got off the couch and walked down the hallway with a really bad feeling, I looked back and obviously didn't see anyone.

S/n - There's nothing to worry about, it's just you here and nobody else.

I spoke to myself, went into the room, locked the door, and lay down on the bed, covering myself from head to toe.

I felt that I wasn't alone, I was terrified.

Suddenly the doorknob started moving, I heard it and stayed silent, but I was panicking.

To me, it could have been a thief or something, so I thought it best not to make a sound; he'd leave soon. As far as I was concerned, he could take everything but me.

As soon as everything was quiet again, I deduced that he had left, so I got up very slowly, went to the door, unlocked it, and opened it very carefully so as not to make any noise.

But as soon as I peeked down the hallway, my whole body froze and I couldn't move.

That thing on the ground was staring at me with those blue eyes, what was it?

I wanted to leave, run, escape, scream, but my legs simply wouldn't obey me.

I fell to the ground and crawled as it came towards me.

I threw everything I saw in front of me, but it didn't help much.

The only thing I saw was the window right behind me. Without thinking twice, I threw the first thing I saw at him and jumped out the window, running straight into the forest.

While running, my legs were a little weak, I tripped over a huge rock and tumbled down.

With my body all scratched up and a little sore from the fall, I lost some speed, but I didn't stop; it was still behind me, for sure.

I stopped running after I realized I was running in circles, I was lost, and there was a paranormal creature chasing me.

I looked all around that forest, terrified and panicked, but there was no sign of that creature.

Feeling a little more relieved, I sat on the floor crying, my heart was racing, I almost died.

But it wasn't over; I heard something howling, and it wasn't very far from me.

I got up and as I was about to run, something jumped on me. I just felt an unbearable pain in my abdomen; all I could do was scream in agony, and then it was gone.

I put my hand on the spot and when I lifted my shirt I saw a huge bite mark, the pain was unbearable. I stood up, almost falling, and very, very slowly tried to walk, and after two steps I fell again and passed out.

[...]

I woke up and was at home, I was even more confused and scared, I remembered last night and ran to the bathroom, I was even more scared, the bite was gone, there was nothing there, it was healed, then I thought "This is impossible, it must have been a dream.I think I must be going crazy.

Still struggling to believe it was all just a dream, I went to my room, checked the time, and it was almost time to go to school. I went back to the bathroom, took a quick shower, wrapped myself in a towel, and went to find some clothes.

On my way to the room I came across what looked like footprints, but I thought maybe it was just my imagination. I slowly opened the bedroom door and went in. I looked around the room and apparently there was no one else there but me.

I opened the wardrobe, grabbed a dark blue sweatshirt and black jeans and threw them on the bed. I walked to my dresser where I keep my underwear and then heard a noise coming from the window. I quickly turned around, startled.

"I think I'm watching too many horror movies."

I thought aloud about locking the window, but when I turned around again I got a fright and fell backwards, seeing a man right in front of me.
