Horror shorts

left eye closed

I've never been one to really believe in monsters like the boogy man, bloody Mary, slenderman, etc... I was never scared of the dark growing up and it made me feel different from all the other kids, but I didn't worry too much about it since I was able to sleep easier than everyone else.

   I always did this thing where I would close my right eye first then my left eye, I'm not sure why I did it, it could have been some OCD thing but I doubt it, but now I know that I should do it at all the time.

    One night, while I went to bed I decided to close my left eye first, then my right eye. As I closed my left eye, I saw something dash across the room, this sent shivers down my spine and I immediately opened my eye again.
    "What was that," I thought to myself, what I could make out of it was some kind of humanoid figure because it had skin like a human, or at least that was what I saw in the blur. I slowly closed my left eye again only to see something I couldn't unsee. It sort of looked like a xenomorph but a bit more human like, it had the skin complexion of a human, and one large blue eye in the middle of it's face, it had a pill shaped head and seemed to have a claw like shape for a mouth and teeth as sharp as knives, it's body was slender but tall, it's limbs inhumanely long and it's finger nails long, sharp and black.

    It seemed to be mumbling something but I couldn't make it out, it had suddenly jolted up like it had heard a loud noise and focused it's huge eye on me. I was terrified and there was no one I could run to since my husband was out on a business trip. The figure thrashed it's long finger at me and I quickly rolled off the bed and ran to the kitchen. Had this being been here this whole time? I grabbed a knife, my left eye still closed. I watched as the creature vigorously crawled towards me and take another swing at me, I dodged again swinging my knife at it only to make a small cut. I realized I had opened my eyes and thought maybe that it would stop chasing me, but I was wrong I heard fast steps coming towards me, I guess since I saw it, it wanted me dead so no one else would know about it.

    I closed my left eye again only to see it hover over me, drool dripping from it's jaw onto the blade of the kitchen knife, my body took over my actions and stabbed it but it seemed to not be fazed. I looked over to the window to notice that the sun was starting to rise, but quickly turned my gaze back to the creature as it let out a ear piercing screech as if the sun was doing damage to it. It quickly backed away from the window fading into nothing and soon I couldn't hear the the screeching anymore. I looked down at the knife and saw an odd green substance on it and just threw it in the garbage, better to be safe than sorry.

    Soon enough, I told my husband about what happened and he told me the story the landlord told him about the exact same creature, as you would probably guess, we moved out of the house soon after.
