Curse of the Middle: Twelve o'clock Shadow
It is not necessary to know who I am, it is enough to realize that what I am going to tell you today may be true and may be fiction, but.. if you read this in the stillness of the night, specifically at twelve o'clock.. you may also start to see what you saw. And let me apologize to you, I should have told you this story before, but fear held my tongue. I may have wanted to protect you, but I think it's too late now. It all started that night. I was walking down a lonely road at midnight. The air was completely still, no dogs barking and no human traces, an utter silence that almost tore apart the eardrums. I took out my phone to see the time: it was 12:00. Suddenly, I saw her, a girl standing at the corner of the road in white clothes, long hair touching the floor. At first I thought she was a lost human being, but as I looked closer, the blood froze in my veins; she was standing like a statue, motionless, her head skewed down. Her hair covers her entire face. Unconsciously, I asked in a faint voice: 'Hello?' As soon as the word came out of my mouth, I felt a sting of cold air hit the back of my neck. My phone screen started flashing, time stopped at 12:00, seconds didn't move. I turned behind me, the girl had disappeared, and all that remained was the silence of the long road. The next day, things began to take a terrifying turn; I began to hear a scribbling sound on the door of my room, and then I found wet footprints on the floor crawling toward my bed. Even though the door was locked. One night, the lights went out and I heard a girl's faint laugh, as if something was stuck in her throat. I pointed my scout at the corner of the room, and I saw that white spectrum standing there, the water dripping from his feet. When she raised her head, I saw a face unrelated to humans-totally black eyes, a mouth stitched with rough stitches. In the morning, I found it written on the mirror with water droplets: 'You have seen me, and now I will be with you forever.' Since that day, They appear to me everywhere; at the corner of the road, in the corner of my room, and beside my bed. And when one day I screamed, 'Please go away!' I opened my eyes to find her right in front of my face, her cold breath touching my neck. I am telling you this now so that you may learn and never try to communicate with her, but.. sorry, maybe now she sees you too; in the reflection of your phone screen, or under your bed. And always remember, her face is the last thing one sees before the end. And if you turn around now.. She's probably already watching you.
