Reality: A Choose Your Own Adventure Horror Novel

2

During class, while Mr. Kurosai was lecturing us on plants, I began day dreaming. My eyes scanned the clouds and suddenly noticed one of them looked exactly like a dog.

I sat up straight to get a better look. Usually clouds start to change and cease looking like whatever they did in the firstplace. But not this one.

I was fascinated by the dog cloud, completely consumed by it's rarety.

"Miss Seung-hyun! What is outside that has taken away your interest in class today? Is it really that important?"

"No, sir. I'm sorry," I replied. I glanced back at the window briefly and was startled by a white dog floating right by the window.

I gasped and looked again only to find the dog licking the window. I kept my head forward refusing to believe my eyes. After class had ended, and lunch had started I ran to the 'GIRLS' restroom.

I washed my face trying to see if the cold would awaken my senses. I was probably just tired. I walked to H and Soro's homeroom. They were both munching on some candy.

"Yo!" H waved and gestured for me to come sit with them. They both asked why I looked so shaken up.

"When I was in 5th period, I could see a white dog floating right by the window. I mean he looked just as real as you and me."

Both of them shared a knowing look. One completely unfamiliar to me.

"Hmm, that is strange..." they both said nearly in unison. Something was up and I could tell. I just shrugged it off for the moment.

My grumbling stomach was at the forefront of my mind. I pulled out my lunch to find a half-heartedly made *kimbap. My mom probably saved the nicely made ones for herself.

I ate quickly, savoring some of the better made pieces, then packed up the leftovers. I bid farewell to my friends and began walking back to my classroom.

On my way there I saw a young man walking towards me, a dark hoodie covering his face. I stopped him.

"Excuse me are you lost?" I asked politely, wondering if he was maybe a new student.

He said nothing.

"Hello?" I waved a hand in front of his face. I did my best to sneak a peak of his face.

What I saw was horrific:

He had no mouth. No nose. No distinguished features except for one; eyes. Eyes all over his face.

I shrieked and ran as fast as I could into my classroom, not bothering to look back. I sat down in my seat not seeing all of the rude stares coming my way.

My heart was nearly beating out of my chest. I situated myself and tried to look okay.

"In a rush?" the teacher teased. I just nodded and acted normal.

After school I walked home alone. I hadn't read the weather forecast, but I guess it predicted rain. I didn't know so I trudged in the rain my clothes getting soaked.

I got inside my house and dried off. Jun Ho was home from college playing video games. I fell asleep on my bed later on that night.

*Kimbap is a Korean dish that has a lot of resemblance to Japanese sushi
