A hunter was out in the woods looking for game one weekend. He was out for a while and was pretty far from any civilization. He lost track of time and noticed the sun was already going down but it was too late to get anywhere fast enough before it was completely dark outside.
He kept walking through the woods in search of anything he could use as a shelter. He comes across an old rundown shack that looks like no one has lived in for many years. He believes this is suitable enough for one night and feels safe with his gun by his side so he goes in.
He found a decent bed in a fairly clean room. The hunter was so tired and exausted from the day that he didn't really care about the whole situation. He'd slept in worse conditions before and considered this a blessing. His eyelids felt heavy and he could barely keep his eyes open. The thing is, he was also having trouble closing them.
In his sleepy state, the hunter could just barely make out a portrait on the wall farthest from the bed seemingly staring directly at him. He didn't think much of it but he still felt uncomfortable with those cold eyes on him at all times. Eventually, he drifted off and finally went to sleep.
When he woke up he couldn't remember much from the night before but he could just barely recall the painting. Before he left, he glanced at the painting one last time. He heart sank as he realized that he wasn't looking at a portrait at all....... but at an open window.
