Suddenly something strange happens, the killer lets go. The knife stays inside the screaming man and he is able to move back a bit.
The killer then places their hands over their mask.
"Why?" the digital voice sounds.
"Mom! Dad!"
What the fuck? Is this insane display?!
"Why?"
Then they move their head to me.
"Why do you want to hurt me?"
Can they hear me?
Did I do something?
The masked killer starts getting closer and closer to me and before I know it, they are face to face with me.
"You want me to keep this one alive?" The creepy voice asks me, making in between the words a strange glitching noise.
I want to say 'yes', but my throat keeps me from answering.
My heart starts beating like crazy and for a moment my whole vision goes blank.
I sit up quickly, almost screaming, but just being able to keep it inside.
I take my phone from my nightstand and call the number of the detective.
