So when did this start? Why did this start? Well it started Tuesday. I had a completely normal day. With nothing to do. Other than school of course. It was fine though. Other than one thing.

I saw something in the forest. Nearby my school. I walked over to check, and it was dead. A squirrel lay in front of me. Dead.

I saw its body was mutilated, with its guts out spilling and blood splatter all over the grass. Was something eating it??

I looked up to see what I saw move and I saw it. Words can't describe how insane I felt. Just looking at

It had a dark slender body. A sunken bone like face, with no hair in sight. It was like something from a nightmare. I heard it say my name.

It's voice deep and un-human like, "Kris" I looked at it horrified. Then I blinked. And realized it wasn't there.

I looked down to where the squirrel was, and there was no squirrel. Just dried blood.

I went home quickly. Scared of what I saw. Did I really see it? was it real? Am I going crazy? What was that- "kris, are you alright?" My dad asked, worried.

I barely said anything during dinner. "Yeah, dad, I'm fine. Just had a weird thought, " I told him. "Okey-doke kiddo. Was school good?" He asked, getting our plates, putting them in the sink.

"Uh yeah. Nothing new or funny, " I said, sitting in my chair just staring at the table. "Oh well. Anyways, you should get some rest. You look tired, " my dad said.

"Yeah. I'll see you tomorrow, dad. " I got up giving my dad a hug and kiss on the cheek goodnight.

I then went to my room and called my mom to say goodnight. She's in Virginia for a work trip for this week. "Hey mama." I said to my mom on the phone. "Hey darling. You ok? You sound depressed" my mom said, sounding concerned.

"Yeah mama don't worry. I just wanted to say goodnight." I responded quickly. "Oh well then goodnight honey! Sleep well alright kris?" My mom said.

"yeah I will" me and my mom said our goodbyes and I hung up. I layed in my bed drifting to sleep, waiting for myself to wake up in my dream.

I opened my eyes, looking around. What? This can't be real? Why am I back in the forest? Where's the school? Why is the squirrel here? Wait- THE SQUIRREL?
