I stood frozen inside my small one room apartment. I stared wide eyed at my phone that was now lying on the ground. The picture wasn't changed even though I wish it had. I trembled, holding myself as I tried to calm down. The picture was of me sleeping. I live alone. I took a shaky breath and crouched down to grab my phone. Right before I grabbed it, another hand snatched it up. I stayed frozen, crouched and hand extended. I slowly looked up and there stood a tall man shrouded in shadows. All I could see was his figure and a horrible grin. I couldn't do anything, but watch this man fiddle with my phone. I couldn't see any features due to the shadows, but the odd things was that he seemed to be a part of the shadows. I was broken out of my stupor by a bright light flashing in my eyes. I flinched and lost my balance calling back. I blinked rapidly, trying to get my sight back and figure out what the light was. I looked up and it clicked. It was the flash on my phone's camera. He, it, took a picture of me.
"I think you look better asleep."
That was the last thing I heard before he lunged at me and plunged a knife into my chest.
"W-why..." I stuttered, trailing of as I began to cough up blood.
I struggled to breath as with each cough more blood weld up. I could see the world beginning to go black and just before it went completely dark. A light flashes again.
"That's better."
