Her heartbeat drumming in her ears, Cassie stared at her computer screen at the eerie email.
"What is going on?" The words came out with a tremble in her voice. Her hands started to shake and she found herself trying to focus on her breathing, afraid that she might go into shock. Too many strange things had happened in a short amount of time to be coincidence. She forced her hand to take hold of the mouse and dragged it to exit the creepy email. The second she closed the email window she almost jumped out of her chair when the Welcome Home homepage instantly popped up.
"Who's doing this!?" Cassie yelled through the house, convinced this was some sick prank someone was playing on her.
"Ha ha ha ha....."
The familiar slow chuckle seemed to be coming from the computer. Cassie couldn't believe her eyes when she faced the screen and was met with a pair of dark hooded eyes, staring straight at her through the screen. The colorful background of the Welcome Home neighborhood faded into blackness, all except the creepy pair of eyes looking at her.
"Can you see me, Cassie?......"
It was Wally's voice. She was sure of it. Somehow, the puppet was talking to her directly. She carefully took a seat back in her chair and scooted it closer to her desk.
"Wally? How- how are you doing this?" She reached out to the screen. She felt like she was going crazy. There was no way this puppet was talking to her.
"I can't see you....."
Cassie placed her hand flat against the computer screen. She felt a slight fuzzy feeling from the electrical static of the monitor but that was about it. Suddenly the screen went blank, nothing but black filled the screen.
"Wally?" She asked with uncertainty.
Before she could ask anything else, the screen quickly went to a static display. She tried to pull her hand away but found that it was basically glued to the screen. 'This is impossible!' Her mind screamed. The more she tried to yank it away, the more her hand stayed in place.
And just when she had finally accepted the impossibility of being attached to her computer screen, her eyes widen in horror as a yellow fuzzy hand somehow reached through the static and grabbed onto her wrist in a tight grip.
"Welcome to the Neighborhood, neighbor."
