Short Dark Storys

Shadow Man

I get up very sleepy at 6:30 am. I get dressed and ready for school. I open my music box and it plays brokenly. My mom walks in my room and asks,"Hey dear you ready for school?" She looks towards the music box. "I promise we'll get it fixed soon. Wish you would tell me how it broke." "Oh no it's fine, I love the creepy affect it gives to my room." I look around my room. White walls covered in band posters, my wooden desk in the corner that my black lap top and a cup of pencils, my bed is in the other corner with black sheets, white pillows, purple, blue, and black blankets sit nice and neat on top. I get up and walk past her. She follows and we both get in the car. I put on my headphones and listen to music, pretending the world doesn't exist. After some time we arrive at the school. I get out hesitantly not wanting to go to school. I walk into the school doors very slowly. Something didn't feel right, I knew it was going to be a bad day. I skip eating because I don't feel like it. So I head to my class early. As I walk through the halls I see a shadow like figure behind me. I turn around quickly and the demon like figure just stands there. The shadow takes the shape of a man as black fog and aura surrounds it. I turn back around pretending I didn't see it and continue walking. It appeared right in front of me and stopped me."you," it said in a dark demented voice. It pointed at me with one of its sharp claws. I knew I shouldn't speak to it but I was curious, what about me? "what do you mean? What do you want?" I asked trying to sound confident and strong. One thing I know is not to be afraid. "you," it said again. It's face that was once completely black, showed a sharp white smile. I felt a tap on my shoulder and turned around quickly. It was my friend Seth. "you okay?"He asked. I looked back over and It was gone. "Ya i'm fine." I reply. "Whats wrong? who were you talking to?"
