Once we had finished shopping it was dark outside,
"The time went fast?" I say to Ethan
"I know" he says looking around the empty surroundings, not a single person was walking around, everything was quiet, all that was heard was mine and Ethans footsteps
"This feels off?" Ethan says quietly
"Yea, don't worry about it, we are almost home" I try and smile at him but it comes out crooked.

When we finally get to the door I quickly start to shove my hands in my pockets, desperately trying to find the keys to the house, why are we so paranoid, this is heaven! I find my keys and look back up but instead of a locked door I see it is open, glancing over at Ethan I can see that his face was moulded into a horrified look, fixated onto the ajar door.
"M-mark, did-did you leave the door ope-n" his voice was shaky, I shook my head slowly
"H-hey, it could just be God paying a-a visit?" I say doubtfully.

I slowly build up the courage to walk forward into the house, Ethan followed close behind. The house was only lit by the dull moonlight, isn't it odd how the moonlight can be romantic one night but the most terrifying thing the next, I looked around and spotted a kitchen knife on the counter, I quickly grabbed it with my trembling hands, as I did so a thud came from the next room, then fast footsteps became louder and louder, I held the knife out and made sure Ethan was behind me,
"Show yourself!" I yell, suddenly the steps stopped, for awhile there was no sound, until it started to walk again, much slower this time.

Slowly it came around the corner, showing itself, I covered Ethan more, my eyes quickly dart to the persons hands, making sure there were no weapons, I looked up at its face and saw they were looking down at the floor. They stopped in there tracks a few meters away from us, they stood no threat but their appearance made it eerie, his appearance! It was the man from my dream, the man outside my window, my hands began to shake making me almost drop the knife.

"Hello... Mark"
