Tv

"The Television"

I ripped open the cardboard box. Shuffling through the clothes, pulling out a tang-top and some shorts.

I sighed. I hated moving to much packing and unpacking. I grumbled under my breath.

After slipping the clothes on, I sat down turning on the television.

Static erupted onto the screen. I groan getting up and smacking the tv.

I had payed for the cable, already it should be working.

The screen went black. I gasped a jumped back. Falling to the floor. In the middle of the screen was a young girl. She had long black hair. Her head was twisted into an unnatural position.

Her mouth was moving as if she was saying something. Whispers echoed threw the room.

"Y-you're," it paused for a moment.

"Going to d-die." The screen want black once again. The lights in the room went off.

I was surrounded by darkness. I heard gurgling behind me.

A plop of wet footsteps. Plop, plop, plop. Then I heard scratching. A moan Of pain was heard.

I turned slowly turned around. Fear ran through my whole body. Hairs standing on end.

"Bye, bye." The little girl for the screen said.
