The Midnight Game

The Final minutes

I went to the living room. The curtains revealed the window. I don't remember opening the curtains at all, the atmosphere was intense and i felt disturbed. I left to kitchen to check the time 2:40. The game was almost over. "just couple more minutes Kate" I said to my self. I put my game face on and went to the living room once more, I was met with something I feared. I saw the huge black shadow that have been haunting me this whole time. I stared at it and felt paralyzed. I couldn't move, he froze me in place! I saw him coming closer and I looked away. But he forcefully made me look, I felt my color was drained out of my body when I saw his face for the second time. It was horrific that I wanted to go blind. "Looks like this one is stubborn, I guess I should decapitate this beautiful face and make it a trophy". I was scared for my life, is this how i was going to end? leaving my parent without telling them the torment my grandma gave me? having them suffer another loss? Yeah they left me for a job but I can't blame them for it. Before I closed my eyes I saw the light of the moon. " Any last words?" I looked and smiled, "I didn't know the red light shined on this dastardly hour" I closed my eyes to prepare for the worst.

I waited and felt a sharp cut on the frame of my face, but before the cut became longer the clock struck 3:00. The game was over, I opened my eyes only to see that the shadow disappeared. I was so happy. I looked outside and saw a blood moon, "And I though it was only a full moon tonight" I smiled knowing that the red moon was a sign of this game ending. I turned on all the lights before blowing out the candle. I passed by the table and saw that the paper with my name written down was back. I flipped the paper over and there was a message on the back. I sighed as I was relieved that I finished the game and lived.
