Untold Thoughts

A college student decided to visit one of his friends. He was excited because he hadn’t seen his friend in a while. When he got to his friend’s house, he found the young man lying in bed, hiding beneath the covers. They talked for a while and the student found his friend’s behavior very strange. After a while, he stood up to leave and his friend suddenly said, “you can’t go!” his voice was urgent and his face was deadly serious. “Why not?” asked the student. “She won’t let you leave,” replied his friend in a fearful voice. “She?” asked the student, looking around the room curiously. “Who’s she?” He couldn’t see anyone else in the room. “If you go, she will follow you and kill you,” said his friend. The student stared at his friend incredulously. He saw his friend glance toward the chest of drawers in the corner of the room. He followed his friend’s eyes, looking at the chest of drawers and a chill ran down his spine. There, in shadows of the narrow 5cm gap between the wall and chest of drawers, he saw a paper-thin woman staring back at him. In her hand, she was clutching an ice pick.
