Don't look

Are you being watched?

Your answer was probably no, but how can you be sure?

Look around you. Are you in public? If yes, then it must be someone in the crowd looking at you. 

But if you are alone it's different.

You start to feel uncomfortable. Your eyes flying through the room.

Look left, right, behind.

Nothing.

Close your windows and doors.

Check your closet and under the bed.

The house is locked, no one is inside except for you.

You're safe, just paranoid. 

What if something is really looking at you?

What if that feeling  you have been ignoring were your instincts warning you.

Every second that passes the danger gets higher.

You're frozen.

The only thing that can be heard is your breathing. Slowly and deeply. The heart skipping beats is making it difficult.

That's when you notice a subtle sound. 

Something crawling over you.

Step by step your fear becomes bigger.

You don't dare to look up.    

The only place no one ever checks. After all it's impossible for someone to be there.

Unfortunately it's not human.

And it has been there for a long time.

So, I'm gonna ask again.

Are you being watched?
