Why I Hate The Dark

I'm a big fan of horror stuff. It started out when I was a teenager, I would play scary video games all the time and I don't get any chills at all. I'm into scary books like Stephen King's It and R.L. Stine's Goosebumps series. To be fair, R.L. Stine's stories aren't too scary, but it's fun to read. I even watched the Goosebumps episodes on Netflix and the two movies, all of them are really good. However, that's not what's having me spooked tonight.

There is one movie series that's catching my eye, but I haven't seen them yet; The Conjuring Universe.

You may be thinking, Clyde, why would you want to watch that? You're not ready for this!

Well, I'm hoping I'm ready for it. I can find out how the demons do their work, like Annabelle the doll for example. She was real, but different from the Hollywood version. Maybe it's more accurate. I have seen trailers before on the iTunes app on my Apple Phone (an iPhone 12 model), but of course, since I want to save my money, I didn't buy anything. I want to save it for my birthday, which is coming on October. Sounds stupid and it gives me shivers just thinking about it.

Okay, I better just write this one and only one account down and get this over with before I die of fright. No need for those types of words now.

I should just take note of how this started. Since I'm interested in the Conjuring Universe, I watched clips from the movies, from Bathsheba, to Annabelle, to Valak. Valak is a terrifying nun from The Conjuring 2 and The Nun. I consider that thing to be the most scariest demon from the Conjuring Universe ever. Just thinking about it gives me chills up my spine. What if it shows up in my house and wants to kill me?

Am I still jumping ahead? Fuck it! I don't care! It was that one night that set me off. The past few nights were fine, nothing too too bad. I would only visualize that demon a bit, but tonight it got worse.

I was having a late night snack after I skipped dinner, just to at least eat something. I was getting hungry and I need to fill in something in my stomach. I left my bedroom, which was on the second floor of a two story house and walked down the stairs. No problems so far. I entered the kitchen and I saw my mom and dad watching the soccer game on TV. I opened up a cabinet and took out some gummy snacks and sat next to my mom. I love both parents, but I love my mom the most. I opened by bag of gummies as I watched the game alongside my parents. After a few minutes, my dad turned off the TV and he and my mom told me they're going to bed early and told me to turn off the lights when I'm done in the living room. I wish I still kept the lights on even if I'm not in the living room. I kept eating my gummies with still nothing to worry about.

I was finished my gummies and it was 9:55 at night. I then had this strange feeling that even though mom and dad left for bed, I'm still not alone. Not in a nice way, more like something sinister.

Sure, normally I would shrug it off, but I really feel like there is a dark presence inside the house. It would happen as soon as I turn off that living room light.

The bad news is I already promised my parents I would turn off the light, so once I put my gummy wrapper in the garbage can, I turned off the light.

This is when my visions come in and they are clear.

I was walking down the hall to return to the stairs to go up to my room to also turn in for the night, maybe play a video game or two, when I shuddered a bit. That bad feeling I had grew more and more intense by the second. I then got thee feeling I'm being watched. I could feel my heart pounding.

I looked around for that presence. Nothing in front of me, but behind me made me gasp and my eyes grow wide. Seven feet behind me, in that pitch dark living room, is that terrifying nun from The Conjuring 2 and The Nun, Valak!
