The Thing In The Window

The thing has been there for almost a week. The figure in the window.
It looks featureless, only skin on a human frame.
And it's pressing itself against the glass somehow.
I don't know how it got there, and I don't know how to get rid of it.

At first I thought it was a prank, like a doll or some mannequin that some jerks put there to scare me.
But I realized as I walked out of my house to pull it away, it wasn't there.
I shrugged it off. Thinking that someone had hidden it while I was walking through my door.
But I went back in and looked out that same window, and it was looking in. Staring at me.

I walked around my house, yelling for whoever it was to come out. But no one was there.
The thing is hairless and naked and didn't actually look like it had eyes, or even a face at all.
But it head is turned towards me when I enter the room.
When I sit on my computer, I can feel its faceless hatred burning into my neck.
But when I turn around, it's innocently turned in a different direction.

Finally on Thursday, I tried to open the window. But it's stuck.
I think the things hands are keeping it down, but I got a good look at its face.
It's eyes and mouth are behind its skin, pushing outward.

It stared at me. Smiling.

And that smile just got wider and wider and wider.
Until I thought its head would break in half.
It raised its own hand and bashed the window with its palm.
It was mocking me. But I saw the faintest crack begin to appear where it had hit.
And I backed away.
No way did I want that smile in the same room as me.

So I got a roll of duct tape and started covering the window.
I couldn't look directly at it; I nearly shit my pants just knowing it was watching me.
But I couldn't help it. I take a quick glance at the skin covered face.
Just a peek.

It was angry.

That smile was now a gaping frown full of teeth.
The skin had ripped away from its mouth and I could see down its cavernous throat.
A menacing rumble started to fill the house.
And that hairline crack started to began to spread like splintering ice.
I pulled down the duct tape.
The rumbling stopped and the ripped skin started healing over. And it began to smile again.
Now it's night and the noise hasn't started again.
There are no sounds, no rumble, no breaking glass.
Everything's quiet now. I can feel its claws gripping the back of my chair.

I can hear its skin stretching as it smiles.

It's watching me type on my computer.
