That Creepy Night

First person's POV

5 years have passed already, this same day, 8th September,  I faced one of the most horrific night of my life.

Till this day it creeps me out, that what if, it would been the last day of my life? That incident really left me traumatized.

(Flashback:)

"Hey Brynn, Can we please exchange our shifts for today, actually I've some important work tonight, so I'll not be able to  manage my night shift.", Lia, my best friend, asked.

"Sure. But what's that important work huh?", I asked back, grinning mischievously.

"You know,  right?", She replied.

"Ya ya.", I laughed understanding what she meant,before getting back to work.

Time skip:

At night:

"Bye, I'm leaving. And Thanks too.", Lia smiled at me, before leaving the store.

After about 15 minutes of her departure, I heard the door opening, indicating a customer entered the store.

Its very unusal for a regular customer to come at this late hour, so I assumed it as a new customer, and I was right.

I saw a man, maybe in his 30s, covered with black clothes, roaming around the store, probably searching for something.

But strangely even after almost 20 minutes of roaming around, he left without buying anything.

That was strange, but I shrugged it anyways.

The night shift of our store, expands till midnight. And it was almost 11:40 pm.

I took out my phone and started playing some games to spend my time as I was the only being present in the store.

I was so focused in playing, that I forgot to check the time, but when I did it was correct 12:23 am.

I hit my head with my palm, cursing mentally, knowing my parents would ne hella worried for me, before hurriedly packing my stuff.

I locked the store and started walking towards my home.

I usually come with my vehicle,  but I gave it for servicing yesterday, and so I have to walk to my house.

As I was walking, I heard some footsteps from behind, but when I turned around there was no one.

It continued for almost 6-7 minutes. But this time when I turned around, I found a shadow of a man standing some 12 meters away from me, which made me terrified.

I didn't wanted to move, scared of, what will happen if I'll shift my eyes from him.

But I gathered my courage, and turned around, walking slightly faster than before.

But his footsteps still followed me, making me increase my pace with each passing second.

The footsteps suddenly stopped, which made me curious and I hesitantly turned around just to see him standing at a far distance.

I noticed that it is the same strange man that came in the store earlier, making me shiver.

He suddenly started running towards me, in a very wierd manner, which made me run automatically.

I took a random turn and hide myself inside someone's backyard.

I kept my palms on my mouth to prevent any noice to come out of me.

I again heard those terrific footsteps, which stopped just in front of the backyard, I was in.

I was just praying to god, to help me escape from this situation, which  actually worked, as I heard that man walk away.

I sat there for another 5-10 minutes, to assure his desertion, before coming out slowly and running off to my house.

(Present:)

I didn't told about this to anyone, as I'm not sure, if it was all real or I was just watching a bad dream.

But whatever that was, It really was one of the most creepiest night of my life....
