Ugh! He's distracting me from finishing my assignments!!!

What should I do to stop him??!

ILLUSION
"What if the things you imagine are just
waiting for you to believe in them...?"

One evening, I was alone in my bedroom, buried in homework. The house was quiet—too quiet. Suddenly, I heard footsteps from downstairs. They were slow at first, then heavier, more deliberate. Curious and a little unsettled, I got up to check.

Before I could even start down the stairs, the sound of bottles smashing filled the air. It was coming from my dads bar downstairs. The crashing noise went on and on, like someone was tearing the place apart.

My heart raced, but I forced myself to move.

Step by step, I made my way down.

When I reached the landing, the sight hit me—broken bottles and shattered glasses littered the floor. It was chaos. But what was even worse was the screaming. I could hear it, echoing through the house—loud, frantic, but muffled as if from far away.

Yet, I was the only one home.

My panic set in me.

I bolted back upstairs, locking myself in my room. I stayed there, shaking, until my parents finally came home.

But when they did... there wasn’t a single broken bottle.

No shattered glass.

No screaming.

Just me.
