What Started This?

My palms are sweaty. I'm running like I'm in a Olympic Track And Field race. I'm approaching a mammoth house, made out of bare materials such as unstable wooden logs and metal scraps. I feel like he's right behind me. I feel like his unsettling breath is breathing on my neck. I am at the house. I opened the metal door and I made sure I locked it.

I looked around to see if there was anything to protect me. The time is ticking. I can hear the painful ticks of a clock in my head. I looked under a bed, all I could find was a old hunting rifle.

Whoever lived here, definitely was hunting deer or something. I held the rifle closely to my chest. And I hid under the bed. I could hear his loud footsteps coming towards the front door. He said with his eerie voice, "Come out, come out, wherever you are".

He busted the door open. I held my breath at that point. He looked inside a closet, and moved into what it seems like a living room. I carefully got out from under the bed and I aimed the rifle at the living room door. When he comes out, I'll be sure to shoot him.

He searched the whole living room, then in fustration, he decided to give up. He opened the last living room door, only to see me, pointing the rifle straight at his chest. He put his hands up, and said, "Heh, that rifle isn't gonna scare me, go ahead shoot it".

After that, I said that we could work things out. I suggested that he would leave, quit his ways, and embrace his second chance. But when he heard that, he wasn't satisfied. He gave a stank frown look at me. I was frightened. He said that there is no second chance and to shoot the damn gun already.

I hesitated. He kept saying shoot me, but louder and louder everytime. He was trying to mess with my mind. I didn't know what to do. I don't wanna commit murder. But he's a bad guy. He doesn't deserve to live. To the point where he said shoot me so loud that my ears were bleeding, I decided to do that.

I held the scope to my eye, and I pulled the trigger. But, that's when I became most scared. Nothing came out, all there was to hear was a tick. The gun didn't have any bullets in them.

What in the hell started this?
