I scrubbed aggressively to rid any bad breath and food remnants, my mouth filling with the foam of toothpaste. There was a bitter aftertaste, and sharp pains in my gum. I looked up at the mirror to discover a razor full of blood--and it was mine. ]]> 2022-10-31 13:55:56 UTC https://padlet.com/steph_faucette/u1semwcfhqyweuz4/wish/2363344479 https://padlet.com/steph_faucette/u1semwcfhqyweuz4/wish/2363344727 We were just about to go trick or treating until I received a text from an unknown number, saying we would die if we went outside the house. ]]> 2022-10-31 13:56:04 UTC https://padlet.com/steph_faucette/u1semwcfhqyweuz4/wish/2363344727 https://padlet.com/steph_faucette/u1semwcfhqyweuz4/wish/2363345218 I was home alone on a chilly and calm night. After locking both doors, I hear a click and a noise from the opposite side of the house. The back door opens and my lights flicker. ]]> 2022-10-31 13:56:16 UTC https://padlet.com/steph_faucette/u1semwcfhqyweuz4/wish/2363345218 https://padlet.com/steph_faucette/u1semwcfhqyweuz4/wish/2363345227 I walked down the old wooden stairs to the basement, unable to see. The stairs were wobbly and full of holes. I turned on the light and turned around, finally noticing that the stairs were not made of wood at all, but of bones.]]> 2022-10-31 13:56:16 UTC https://padlet.com/steph_faucette/u1semwcfhqyweuz4/wish/2363345227 https://padlet.com/steph_faucette/u1semwcfhqyweuz4/wish/2363345253 I still remember it. That night. "It's safe to come out now, sweetie." My dad had assured. I stared blankly at his blue eyes, peaking without blinking through the crack in my old, creaky bedroom door - a silver a moonlight leaking into the room with his gaze. I watch from my hiding spot beneath my bed. The first time he told me that about an hour before i almost believed him; those trusting, welcoming blue eyes.

But that doesn't change the fact that my dad's eyes are brown, not blue.]]> 2022-10-31 13:56:17 UTC https://padlet.com/steph_faucette/u1semwcfhqyweuz4/wish/2363345253 https://padlet.com/steph_faucette/u1semwcfhqyweuz4/wish/2363345288 I move tiredly to my kitchen in search of my leftover chocolate cake from the day before.

I turn and I am face to face with a masked person. ]]> 2022-10-31 13:56:47 UTC https://padlet.com/steph_faucette/u1semwcfhqyweuz4/wish/2363346238 https://padlet.com/steph_faucette/u1semwcfhqyweuz4/wish/2363346498 As I was putting Lily down to bed, she asked, "Momma can you please check out my window for ghosts?"

After a long day of homework, I was exhausted and in need of sleep. As I closed my eyes and drifted to sleep, I was suddenly jolted awake. I had forgotten to do membean. ]]> 2022-10-31 13:58:13 UTC https://padlet.com/steph_faucette/u1semwcfhqyweuz4/wish/2363348794 https://padlet.com/steph_faucette/u1semwcfhqyweuz4/wish/2363350497 It was 3 am and I was home alone in my dark room Snapping my friends back and forth just like I would any normal night. One of my friends responded to my Snap, asking what was standing behind me in the background. I turned my head slowly just expecting to see my dog sitting there. Instead, as I turned my head, my dog was nowhere to be seen and the shadowy black figure loomed over me, it's mere presence threatening me. ]]> 2022-10-31 13:59:06 UTC https://padlet.com/steph_faucette/u1semwcfhqyweuz4/wish/2363350497 https://padlet.com/steph_faucette/u1semwcfhqyweuz4/wish/2363350733 I made my way to my car to grab my jacket I had left while noticing a shadow moving. Thinking I was seeing things and freaking myself out I continued to the car. After I acquired my coat, the door suddenly shut before I touched it, and I turned to see the shadow figure behind me. ]]> 2022-10-31 13:59:14 UTC https://padlet.com/steph_faucette/u1semwcfhqyweuz4/wish/2363350733 https://padlet.com/steph_faucette/u1semwcfhqyweuz4/wish/2363351190 I can home after a long day of work.

After buckling my seatbelt, I whipped out my phone and began to scroll, checking the news as I always do. A serial killer had escaped prison last night from the state penitentiary. He was a pale, tall man with eyes that shone black like a beetles'. He looked just like my Uber driver...
My heart froze in my chest as I rose my eyes to face the driver's mirror. Those same beady eyes peered back at me along with a sinister grin. 

"WE'VE ARRIVIED AT OUR DESTINATION. I HOPE I GET A FIVE-STAR RATING."]]> 2022-10-31 13:59:51 UTC https://padlet.com/steph_faucette/u1semwcfhqyweuz4/wish/2363351749 https://padlet.com/steph_faucette/u1semwcfhqyweuz4/wish/2363353654 It was the cold Halloween Night of October 31st. Something was different this Halloween. I couldn't put my finger on it. Trick or treating began. As I ran from house to house, I noticed one particular trick or treater who wasn't a child at all. I got frightened and ran around to the corner of my street. I stop to catch my breath. I hear something behind me. As I turn my head, you will never believe what I saw.]]> 2022-10-31 14:00:54 UTC https://padlet.com/steph_faucette/u1semwcfhqyweuz4/wish/2363353654 https://padlet.com/steph_faucette/u1semwcfhqyweuz4/wish/2363353707 I had just finished my first night shift at Walgreens. My car was the last car in the parking lot, there was no one else there. I was so tired, my eyes felt like weights protruding from my face. As I opened my car, I realized that it was already unlocked. I swiftly got in my car and locked the doors. I was driving home and I heard a weird sound coming from the back seat. I thought, "what is that", until I realized. It was breathing.]]> 2022-10-31 14:00:56 UTC https://padlet.com/steph_faucette/u1semwcfhqyweuz4/wish/2363353707 https://padlet.com/steph_faucette/u1semwcfhqyweuz4/wish/2363356610 "NO!" I shout, feeling the his presence in the room. He's been lurking in my room for days, and I can't get rid of him at night. He just stands there in the corner while I sleep, I cannot see him but I know he's there. "Honey, you have nothing to be scared of! It's me!" he says soothingly, but I could recognize his voice anywhere. My father's face appeared out of the shadows, with eyes stared into mine and teeth, sharp like razors. As he corners me between my dresser and my bed, I realize something. His eyes were never that shade of blue.]]> 2022-10-31 14:02:29 UTC https://padlet.com/steph_faucette/u1semwcfhqyweuz4/wish/2363356610
