*SPLASH*

I was running in the pouring rain to work which as always, I was late to. I was tripping over my own feet, but was still determined to get there. I burst through the doors not even bothering to catch my breath before speaking.

"Sorry I'm late!"

"Taehyung!? Again! You're always late!" My boss exclaimed.

"I know! I-I'm sorry" I muttered before bowing my head down in shame. My boss just sighed at me annoyingly.

"It's alright, because it won't happen again" He said while putting down the dishrag he was holding.

"Of course not! Thank y-" I was about to finish my sentence before he cut me off.

"Cause you're fired" He said coldly, before walking away.

I was walking home with only the street lights guiding my way as I was silently hitting my head in disappointment. I continued walking before I felt the unsettling feeling of being watched. I tried to shake it off, but it just wouldn't go away. I continued walking as my pace slightly faltered as I kept looking over my shoulder every now and then, only to be met with the eerie, damp and cold street behind me.

To my avail, the feeling slowly went away making me sigh in relief as my pace was back to normal as I continued make my way home. The relief didn't last long as I then heard something in the distance. The small sound of a music box playing. The distant playing of the box was skipping here and there and it was almost as if the sound went from major to minor in keys. The sound caused my heart to hammer in my chest as my breath was caught in my throat. I knew I was leading myself into trouble, but the music was just calling me to follow it.

so I did.

I walked towards the noise and was eventually walking into an ally at a slow pace. I took cautious steps down darker and deeper into the dirty ally before spotting a little box against the wall. I was about to reach it to get a closer look before it's music bluntly stopped. There I stood, in pure silence with just a music box in front of my feet. The air suddenly went ice cold causing my to shiver. Like a shadow being cast upon my figure, my goosebumps spread around my body like a wildfire as the hairs on my neck stood up like an ovation. The feeling was back, just now more ghostly. The feeling of someone watching you, but nobody is there. like a shadow that you have no idea who or where it is until it speaks to you

" Hello doll" a toneless, oily voice sounds. The tone was full of mischief and sounded pure devilish. I swing around fully, only to find the dark, empty ally way that had the small gleam of light from the streets. I turn my head this and that way trying to find the unsettling voice but at the pace my head was frantically turning, I started to get dizzy, and I could've sworn I heard the mocking and cackling voice pressuring itself down on me. I stop when I started to feel faint and leaned my hand on the wall to steady myself, and just let myself regain balance. When I did, I lifted my head with teary and scared eyes to look down past the walls of the dirty buildings to look at the same street light.
