Rolling over, I was shocked to see him lying next to me, covered in blood. What was barking from my living room?]]> 2022-10-31 15:40:32 UTC https://padlet.com/steph_faucette/f7axnmnr5n5rvcck/wish/2363532110 https://padlet.com/steph_faucette/f7axnmnr5n5rvcck/wish/2363534408 I was walking home from my friends house, late at night when I got a strange feeling that there was something behind me. I turned around to see a man about six feet away, staring at me. Totally freaked, out I run to make it to my house as soon as possible, and to my horror I hear the sound of his feet begin to run as well...]]> 2022-10-31 15:41:49 UTC https://padlet.com/steph_faucette/f7axnmnr5n5rvcck/wish/2363534408 https://padlet.com/steph_faucette/f7axnmnr5n5rvcck/wish/2363534593 Sweating, Panting, I raced into the cupboard under the stairs, praying it wouldn't find me. I saw a shadow pass by the door then keep moving. I breathed a sigh of relief, resting finally with the knowledge I was safe, until I felt a hot breath on my neck. I wasn't alone. ]]> 2022-10-31 15:41:56 UTC https://padlet.com/steph_faucette/f7axnmnr5n5rvcck/wish/2363534593 https://padlet.com/steph_faucette/f7axnmnr5n5rvcck/wish/2363534718 I was walking home from dinner with my friends, alone and in the dark. I got an alert on my phone and stopped to read it. My mouth dropped and my stomach churned when I read, "That red dress looks good on you."]]> 2022-10-31 15:42:00 UTC https://padlet.com/steph_faucette/f7axnmnr5n5rvcck/wish/2363534718 https://padlet.com/steph_faucette/f7axnmnr5n5rvcck/wish/2363535567 The closing shift at Harper's Bowling Alley usually isn't the worst part about my day. After cleaning rented shoes and wiping tables, I could walk through the empty streets all the way back home. Except today the streets aren't empty; the same man smiles back at me on every corner.]]> 2022-10-31 15:42:30 UTC https://padlet.com/steph_faucette/f7axnmnr5n5rvcck/wish/2363535567 https://padlet.com/steph_faucette/f7axnmnr5n5rvcck/wish/2363535653 It was a Friday night and my friends and I were getting ready for a Halloween party! We were all dressed up super cute and just putting on touches. I heard my mom from the living room yell, "Time to go, girls!". But as I went into my closet to get my shoes and turn out the lights, I saw her, my mom, unconscious and tied up. Who was calling me from the living room? ]]> 2022-10-31 15:42:33 UTC https://padlet.com/steph_faucette/f7axnmnr5n5rvcck/wish/2363535653 https://padlet.com/steph_faucette/f7axnmnr5n5rvcck/wish/2363535735 As I walked through the dark neighborhood on Halloween night, the decorations seem to be watching me. I started walking swifter to my house, but suddenly, I heard footsteps behind me. Right as I turn to look, something snatches me by the ankle, and I am pulled into the night. Little did I know, I would never see my house the same way again. ]]> 2022-10-31 15:42:36 UTC https://padlet.com/steph_faucette/f7axnmnr5n5rvcck/wish/2363535735 https://padlet.com/steph_faucette/f7axnmnr5n5rvcck/wish/2363536024 As my friends and I are outside, something doesn't feel right. The brisk air has an eerie feel as the overcast clouds send a chill all over my body. I turn around, and I see that I am now the only person left. Walking alone with a serial killer on the loose.]]> 2022-10-31 15:42:46 UTC https://padlet.com/steph_faucette/f7axnmnr5n5rvcck/wish/2363536024 https://padlet.com/steph_faucette/f7axnmnr5n5rvcck/wish/2363536182 My room was pitch black and I was about to fall asleep.

A loud baning is coming from the bottom of the tub. What is learching where I can't see?]]> 2022-10-31 15:43:43 UTC https://padlet.com/steph_faucette/f7axnmnr5n5rvcck/wish/2363537695 https://padlet.com/steph_faucette/f7axnmnr5n5rvcck/wish/2363538514 I heard glass shatter in the room next to me. I sprint out my room and head for the door. When I go to leave the house my bodied stopped. My feet wouldn't move. I was trapped in my own house with a stranger inside. ]]> 2022-10-31 15:44:00 UTC https://padlet.com/steph_faucette/f7axnmnr5n5rvcck/wish/2363538514 https://padlet.com/steph_faucette/f7axnmnr5n5rvcck/wish/2363538714 A girl goes missing.

She took a second glance, but he was still there, staring straight in her eyes. She finally turned away after hours of watching him behind the curtains, and fell asleep. The next morning she looked back to that same window, not seeing the man anymore. She went to the bathroom for her morning shower, but as she looked and the mirror, she saw the man standing behind her staring once again in her fearful eyes. ]]> 2022-10-31 15:44:05 UTC https://padlet.com/steph_faucette/f7axnmnr5n5rvcck/wish/2363538799 https://padlet.com/steph_faucette/f7axnmnr5n5rvcck/wish/2363538831 It was October 31st, my mother's favorite night of the year. I put on my costume, plastered a fake smile on my face and went downstairs. My mother told me, "Remember they must be alone honey", and I proudly told her, "Don't worry mom, I'll bring home at least 6 more 'friends'". But somewhere in the back of my mind, I wondered where my mother always took them the next day. ]]> 2022-10-31 15:44:07 UTC https://padlet.com/steph_faucette/f7axnmnr5n5rvcck/wish/2363538831 https://padlet.com/steph_faucette/f7axnmnr5n5rvcck/wish/2363539135 We bolted out of the basement, through the hallway, and out of the house into the woods. We continued running through the dark forest without stopping, out of breath. We came to a holt and looked back, not seeing or hearing anything. We knelt down behind a tree but were startled by the sound of deep breaths. "Why are you breathing so loud?" I asked. "That's not me." ]]> 2022-10-31 15:44:16 UTC https://padlet.com/steph_faucette/f7axnmnr5n5rvcck/wish/2363539135 https://padlet.com/steph_faucette/f7axnmnr5n5rvcck/wish/2363539825 2022-10-31 15:44:36 UTC https://padlet.com/steph_faucette/f7axnmnr5n5rvcck/wish/2363539825 https://padlet.com/steph_faucette/f7axnmnr5n5rvcck/wish/2363539927 I like to use my mirror to inspect my features, clean my face, brush my teeth, etc. I always thought mirrors were really cool because whatever you did, it would copy you exactly. Except for that one time when my phone went off and I turned to grab it, my reflection didn't change. It kept staring...at me.]]> 2022-10-31 15:44:40 UTC https://padlet.com/steph_faucette/f7axnmnr5n5rvcck/wish/2363539927 https://padlet.com/steph_faucette/f7axnmnr5n5rvcck/wish/2363540290 Sitting in the dark, feeling the cold, thick blood running down my face, feeling the sting of where they hit me, the tightness if the rope. I knew I had to get out of there, and not just for me but for him. I decided in that moment that whatever it takes, I would live. I would fight to end the abuse and terror that's been inflicted on me and so many more.]]> 2022-10-31 15:44:53 UTC https://padlet.com/steph_faucette/f7axnmnr5n5rvcck/wish/2363540290 https://padlet.com/steph_faucette/f7axnmnr5n5rvcck/wish/2363542218 As I walked down the empty hallway on my floor of the hotel, I could hear my neighbors screaming in the room next door over the music blaring from their room. The birthday party they were throwing seemed to be a hit! I was about to unlock my door when I heard someone behind me come out of their room. I turned around and all I saw was red dripping to the floor. I don't think the party was a success. ]]> 2022-10-31 15:46:00 UTC https://padlet.com/steph_faucette/f7axnmnr5n5rvcck/wish/2363542218 https://padlet.com/steph_faucette/f7axnmnr5n5rvcck/wish/2363543210 Every morning I go to work on the second floor and take the same elevator.

As I looked back at him that's when I realized we were going down.  ]]> 2022-10-31 15:46:33 UTC https://padlet.com/steph_faucette/f7axnmnr5n5rvcck/wish/2363543210 https://padlet.com/steph_faucette/f7axnmnr5n5rvcck/wish/2363543485 I woke up to the wind.

Where am I? I can't remember how I got here. I guess I should look for a way out. Feeling around me, I find something hard like a tree branch and grab it. Finally, there's a light switch! Oh... I'm surrounded by bones, including one in my hand. I screech and drop it. What's that noise I hear now? Trying to relax, I sit back down on the floor. The noise gets closer to the other side of the door. It's the sharpening of a knife...]]> 2022-10-31 15:47:51 UTC https://padlet.com/steph_faucette/f7axnmnr5n5rvcck/wish/2363545460 https://padlet.com/steph_faucette/f7axnmnr5n5rvcck/wish/2363546160 My eyes open, first blurry then blinded by the fluorescent light above me .I try to move my gaze away but I can't, every one of my limbs is strapped down and I'm starting to panic. I hear footsteps approach, a man, tall and slim hovers above my locked, petrified body. At first he says nothing, just stares at me Blankley with a large grin on his face, his teeth jagged and yellow. As his grin gets wider, he finally speaks, "the young ones always taste the best."]]> 2022-10-31 15:48:17 UTC https://padlet.com/steph_faucette/f7axnmnr5n5rvcck/wish/2363546160
