As I walked down the corridor of my house to get to my bed, I was really scared. The corridor had these markings on it that I had never seen before. I quickly tried to run towards my bedroom door. I tripped on my door stop. I felt really warm around my body, I started shaking and I knew what was coming, everything went black.
The Next Day.
I woke up under my bed, thinking about what happened last night. I then ran towards the corridor where all of the markings were and I found no trace. I grabbed my baseball bat and put it under my dust bed. It was now mid-day, I made myself a ham and salami sandwich and just then it was night. I couldn't explain it, maybe it had something to do with the earth spinning and just then I remembered. I then sprinted down my corridor, jumping over my doorstop and into the wall head first.
I woke up 5 hours after and found myself on the kitchen floor tied to the rails of the oven. I couldn't see very well and I felt dizzy so I decided to lay there on the floor; I was so tired that I couldn't get up. I had a huge bruise on my head and I felt like I had been in a car crash. A voice then said to me in my head, "What are you doing? Get up and go to your room!" I immediately got up and started walking down the corridor towards my room and to my astonishment, I found this huge marking on my ceiling. It looked like a cross, the voice then said, "I made this for you." The voice was gone from then.
1 week later.
I had just woke up, I was shaking and I feared the thing. For one week, I stayed in my room and blocked the door with my table and right about now I needed food. I was starving; I quickly time it right and ran towards the kitchen and opened the pantry and grabbed a pack of savoury biscuits. I ran as fast as I could all the way to my room and the door was locked. I didn't know what to do so I quickly sprinted down into my garage and I got a hatchet. I hit the door so much that it fell off the hinges. I quickly ran in and I found the whole room glowing and it looked really scary, I could feel my skull shivering and my body as well.
It was finally morning and I was glad because the thing was gone for the moment.
