The Children in the Masks An SCP Story

My Mom died two days ago, we had the funeral today. It was raining, and as I am a few others stood respectfully around the newly buried grave. I felt a strange lack of emotion, I felt no tears coming to my eyes. Mom stopped feeling like Mom three years ago, she just was not herself.

Her being in bed all day at my place where she was staying not being able to do anything, her skin becoming pale, her hair falling out and her condition deteriorating so much. Eventually, I just knew it was going to happen. I denied it in my mind but I just knew that was what to be. 

The other funeral attended had dispersed, just leaving me standing just a few feet in front of my mother's grave. I still felt no tears of anything like that, just a kind of nothingness on my face. Don't get me wrong I was heartbroken, but I guess just seeing her like that over those years of me taking care of her took the visible grief away from my body. 

Suddenly, I caught something out of the corner of my eye. I looked up at what my peripheral vision had just barely detected as a shadow, I saw a little girl in an expensive-looking schoolgirl's uniform.  And she was clenching a doll with her hand, it was down and near her skirt. That by itself is not very weird at all, but this next thing certainly was. She was wearing a pig mask, I could not tell of what material it was of.

But it looked realistic and it seemed to have no eyes, just black empty sockets on the mask in the place where eyes should be. I stood there confused and then I blinked, and she was gone. I chalked it up to the stress and emotions I was feeling as a result of my mother's death.

I then went home and took a shower, after this I heated up some leftover mac'nchese with a microwave. I relished in the delicious taste I had known for such a long time I could not recall the first time I tasted it. 

As I was washing the dishes, I caught something in the corner of my eye again. My peripheral vision, I looked up and saw a boy outside just barely in the woods. He was holding a doll his his hand by his waist, he had swim trunks, and he was wearing a mask like the little girl from earlier.  It was a mouse mask instead of a pig mask, sharing the feature of the same empty eye sockets though.

I was about to go help him, after all. He was in swim trunks and it was March, he must have been freezing his little kid ass of out there. But then, I blinked and he was gone. I chalked this up to being of the same nature as the earlier occurrence. 

After this I watched some TV for an hour or so, I watched some South Park. Thats the best show there simply is in my opinion, relatatble funny, offensive humor, sarcasm. Whats not to love?

Honestly I think people who don't like it have a mental illness, I watched "Red sleigh Down" and "A Nightmare on facetime". Which I think are some of the best episodes of the entire show, but honestly all of the episodes are great in my opinion. The worst episodes of South Park are better than the best episodes of some other shows, that's not an opinion. Its just a fact.

After that I went up stairs, I then went to my room and I took out my phone and watched some Yotube for while. I watched some Daily Juicy Memes from a Meme channel called "Memenade", I also watched some Moistcritikal who I had been getting into more recently. And then finally I watched some Warhammer 40k lore, always a grimdark delight. After this I then put my phone down I settled down in the covers with hy head facing the ceiling. And I drifted of to the land of Morhpeus.

I woke up at I think around 1:00 in the next morning, I lifted my head. Looked up and saw something weird to say the least.
