Behind the CURTAIN.
410 Words
A red curtain,that hanged on my window as if to adorn the house. A presence that seemed to draw me ,as if a moth drawn to a flame.
'WHAT REALLY IS BEHIND MY WINDOW?'
It was no unknown feeling for me when the red curtain on my window always caught my attention. I lived in the ground floor and all my other family members were pretty concerned of me,since I frequently started talking about the curtain ,that is drawn whenever it's midnight by my mother...ALWAYS.
Since all of them stayed in the upper floor I was sure they would not have this strange feeling. What freaked me even more is that only the curtain in my room looked red ,as if dipped in fresh blood. And you know something more...?; When I asked my mother why she quietly shuts the curtain without telling me, the reply she gave pierced right through my soul.
"SHE DIDNOT....ACTUALLY SHE NEVER DID"
One night I decided to hide in my cupboard to witness just what the %#£@ was going on...
"..."
"....?"
'NOTHING HAPPENED.'
"...."
"NOTHING HAPPENED..."
"......."
'wait...what's that...?"
"huh?"
THIN AND TALL MAN WITH NO EYES,
MORE PRECISELY NO FACE.
BLACK SUIT AS IF AN OFFICEWORKER.
STOIC FIGURE AS IF AN STATUE.
"wait...He moved...?"
And within a second he disappeared. I sighed but what I saw next still lingers in my mind vividly.
"..."
"....."
A tall man....no face....slender body and arms....STOOD RIGHT BESIDE ME;
In the CUPBOARD...,
I quickly rushed out of THE CUPBOARD and headed towards the door.
Grabbing the doorknob ,I tried tonopen the door but...
"eh?...", I-IT WAS LOCKED...?
I glanced back on reflex and....he was still standing.
I didn't know what to do and grabbed a vase to hit him.
"D-dont you dare come near!"
I pointed the broken vase piece towards him.
"MOM!", It was middle of night and nobody seemed awake, however when I heard a noise outside it felt as if I was Brough back from death.
Someone opened tge door and....he was my little brother.
"see...? that's why you shouldn't mess with me, I licked your doo-",
"what?",I asked.
"what?",he replied back.
"let's get out first!"
I swiftly led him out of the room however still....the man stood right behind my brother.
"H-hey..."
"Look behind you"
He looked behind yet his expression didn't change even a bit.
"What happened to you big sis...?"
He asked while I was frozen in one place.
"WHAT....?"
