They found me the shimmering light surrounding me. I slammed the door open, I stumbled up the stairs as my laces unraveled. I knew they were catching up. I heard the loud noise again I yelled "get out of my head". come with your hands up. I felt the tears from my eyes as I waved my daughter up the stairs. The stairs creaked as they were coming up the stairs. The door was only a short dash now. I ran through the door slamming it behind me. I searched for the gun; it was my only hope to protect my family.The door collapsed. I held up my gun BANG! The shot rang out. “What how?” I felt blood rushing from my throat and saw the blood on my shirt; then the tears in her eyes and then darkness.

That one nights things changed, I rushed up the path panicking my sweat trickled down my face as I looked back to only see darkness, the hallow moon shined upon me creating a thick shadow filling up the forest my only intent was to run escaping this misery, my legs shivered as I ran on to find nothing except darkness leading to the crips of insects and birds, I looked back just to be safe there was no one only me, my friends disappeared and now is was time for me, I Sat on my knees as tears filled my eyes.

I thought I had died for good, I'd got pushed into the forever dark abyss hole by bullies. I woke up and where was I? An endless maze it looked like, arrows guiding me somewhere, writing that said “don't move, stay still” in very creepy fonting. I followed the guiding arrows, every corner was dark, dim lights only showing me part of the hallways. But that's when it came, a mysterious dark figure screeching its frightening noises at me. I was paralyzed, couldn't move, didn't make a single sound. I did what the words said unknowingly “don't move, stay still”.

BOOM.

CRASH.

I clutched the bat Bob left me. Use this only when necessary.

I remember the words lisping out his mouth. I crept out to the hardware garage, tucking the bat into my shoulder, ready to whack anything and leave them with a hard-hitting headache.

All I could see was shadowy darkness, and an ominous glimpse of moonlight that drifted into the garage from the skylight. Vines sprouted out of the window.

I flicked the lights on, one cascading after the other. They all turned on with a loud echo.

Suddenly a boom erupted from the 2nd floor. The boom of a shipment container.

There was a girl walking home when she heard something coming from a bush she didn't think anything of it so she continued walking, then she heard heavy breathing and footsteps behind her she didn't look back she just walked faster, she slowed down when she got close to her house, she felt their breath on her neck she slowly turned around and saw… nothing, then a small voice said “ run.” She sprinted as fast as she could, she got into her house locked all the doors and went to sleep hoping it would all be over in the morning but it was only the beginning.

Morning. Darkness arose in my room. I lay still. All I can hear is the loud pounding of my heart. It races the more fearful I get of the thing near my bed. It’s tall, it’s thin, it has no face. Its fingers curl like razor sharp claws on a cat. Bullets of sweat drip down my face. I take one last deep breath and I let out a shriek before its knife sharp nails pierce my chest and rip out my heart. Blood drips down my lifeless body. Blood covers its fingers. My heart still beats in its hand.

It was a warm and bright summer day yesterday when I invited some friends over to hang out at my place. We drank a little too much of my parent’s brandy from their cabinet and ate too much. The house was covered in spilled drinks and reeked of alcohol. People were asleep on the couch, stairs, and the floor. I woke up the morning after and went outside to get some air. I was recovering from the hangover. There they were floating in the clear blue water, a dead girl in the pool. I'm the dead girl in the pool.

As the mother abruptly closes the door the the little boys bedroom. Room is nothing but silence and with little to no vision in of the little boy. He sighs and rolls over to his side to get a good nights sleep. Time rolls around until 2am, he wakes up to a startling noise of rustling in the corner of the room. The little boy pulls the covers to his face, and calls out in a shaky voice “Who is there-?” The rustling noise got louder, near the little boys door layed a coat hanger. The noise had came from the dark and dingy coat hanger, he sat up and cried for his mom. No response. The little boy now could see a faint vision from the coat hanger, or what he had thought to be his coat walked forward. The little boy stretched in fear squirming, it got closer and closer to the little boy with the rustling sounds getting louder each time, with faint sounds of whisperings.

That day it seemed quiet until the wind shifted in the air. The branches snapped and clicked. It was that feeling that someone was watching me. The walk through The woods to my house was short but dark. That night I was alone and it felt like I was lost. The wind grew louder and louder. But still my heart beat could be heard through it all. Another crack and snap made me jump, I spun around slowly praying it was just me in that dark forest. I turned around crunching the leaves as I did, then my heart stopped. In the shadows. The demogorgon.

I work nights at a clothing store, all alone. The new mannequins had just been delivered,  covered in bubble wrap. I sat in the main room, when I heard a pop! I tried to justify it, just the wind, but nonetheless they continued, pop! I felt my heart rate skyrocket. “It's not real!” pop! I heard the door open , but my eyes felt glued shut. Pop! “Miss?” they asked.pop! I closed my eyes tighter. The popping stopped. “ Ma'am, is this bad timing?.” my eyes opened, it was the delivery man,  dropping off mannequins. After doing his job he left, but then I heard… pop!

One night, two parents frantically searched the town for their missing child. They searched for many hours with the police and couldn’t find her. They said they’d send out an amber alert and were suggested to go get some rest. Once they were home they received the amber alert. They sighed, relieved that help was on the way, until the phone began to flash big letters, “IF YOU WANT YOUR CHILD MEET ME AT THE DOCKS…ALONE”. They quickly hurried their way over hoping to see her.

“She’s over there!” They ran towards her and put their hand on her shoulder. She collapses on the ground.

Icy fingers grasped my arm pulling me under. Lifeless souls,a holographic gray of all shapes swam over my struggling body. Gasping for a breath, only to come up empty. Any longer and I would join them, those who were both rejected by life and death. I give in to the darkness, just to be narrowly pulled out of the souls. I momentarily lay on the cold obsidian ground, filling my deprived lungs with the oxygen that they longed for. Eventually looking up to thank the one that saved me, only to see the God of Eternal Damnation mischievously grinning.

I woke up, I had a fear of the dark, and power went out, so I got out of my room with a flashlight. The hall was dark, a red spot on the wall to my left. I went downstairs. I looked to my left to see my 5 year old brother dead, and the rest of my family dead. I was in shock. I looked at my hands covered in dried blood. I killed them. I looked to my right, 2 feet moving, an all black figure approached, it said, “You let me take control, now look what happened.”

It was here, and it was coming for me. I was lounging on my couch when I first heard it-

Click, click, click.

The sound of claws on wooden floors. The sound of the end finding a soul. The darkness seemed to press against me harder.

Click, click, click.

I had heard the stories for sure, of a black monster with white eyes, a dripping red mouth, and a thirst for blood and flesh. The stories got worse every time someone told the tale. The deaths were already piling up to an absurd amount.

Click, click, click.

Goodbye, wonderful world.

One day I was sitting in my house. I heard a weird noise coming from across the hall. It sounded like a banging noise. I stood up and started walking downstairs. I saw a dark black shadow. I approached it. It was a tall man dressed in an inky and cherry bloodstained tuxedo. Maroon Blood was dripping down his face as I approached him. He started running up to me. I screamed at the top of my lungs. His dark shadow was following me all the way up the stairs. The man howled “I'm going to get you, little girl!” I sprinted for my life.

Rosie sits, staring at the cave rocking back and forth giggling, her eyes chalk white. Her parents were out searching for her. Once they found her they ran to her trying to snap her out of it. They shake her screaming her name repeatedly. She slowly points towards the cave and lets out a blood curdling scream. Her parents' whip around, they both stare into the cave. They both gasp and drop dead to the floor. Rosie looks down at her parents. She turns, and smiles at the cave again, waiting for her next victim.

Today was the day, everyone was dressed in black. It had been 5 days since the passing. It was so silent that it was as if I could hear my brother breathing. But that was impossible due to the car crash 5 days earlier. My mother signaled me to go up and give my speech. I stepped onto the big brown steps and started talking. Tears rolled down my cheek as I read random words off a little sheet about my brother. I stepped down as I finished speaking and turned my body to face the casket. It wasn't my brother.

When the light’s red, stop. Yellow, slow. Green, go. That’s how the world works. Except everything wasn't working. I was by myself in my car, stopped at a light, it was red. However, something was wrong- it never turned green. I sat there. Not wanting to break the law. Pondering what to do. BAM. The windows went black. The radio hissed to a blank air. It was pitch black. I couldn't see anyone or anything, dead silent. Creek. Little by little the sound of low creek rose, louder, louder. I hesitantly turned to the back seat- the light turned green.

I looked down a dark hallway of my house. At the end of that hallway sat a mirror there before I even moved into the house.

I don't know why but I never got rid of it. It had always given me a bad feeling but I felt like i couldnt get rid of it.

Sometimes I would look into it and see faces, as if people were in the mirror. It always creeped me out, so I tried getting rid of it…But now, I'm the one that sees people looking at me. They see my face in the mirror.

I woke up at 1:36Am, a strange noise filling the room. I got up to check it out but to my surprise it was just a doll. This doll reminded me of my daughter who passed just recently, brown curly hair with a cute blue dress to match. I turned it off and went back to sleep. The next night it happened again, almost like I was followed, I couldn't get away from it. That doll with that crooked smile and poorly painted on eyes haunted me. That same night I heard a strange noise, I was met with nothing but terror.
