"....fall down!" The whisper finished the ring-a-ring-a-rosie song.

The creepy man emerged from the gloomy corner veiled in darkness.

Mel saw him. The creepy man; he had yet another sickening grin wiped across his face. The man pinned her up against the wall with great strength.

"Hello, my dear..." The man was saying in a petrifying tone; whilst tucking a strand of Mel's hair behind her ear.

Mel was struggling to break free of the man's strong grip; but her hopeless attempts to break free were provoking the man even more.

The man pressed his sharp and unkempt nails against Mel's skin with great pressure and pain. Mel was wincing.

"Owwwwwww!" Mel was screeching; whilst in pain. 

"What goes around... comes around, Melissa Esruc... even your surname encourages the devil. Curse." He said; chuckling maliciously while digging his nails into Mel's skin.

He spat on her. Stopped digging his nails into her; pretending to grimace like Mel was some bad smell.

"You're a disgusting creature, you Schizophrenic pig!" Mel screeched; whilst strongly resenting the man.

"Schizophrenic pig?! No, no, no, no, no.... I'm not the one who is imagining things, is it? I am the person you're hallucinating about." The man was saying convincingly.

A loud knock was heard on the door. The man disappeared into a whisk of black ravens and out of the window. The person knocking grew impatient and burst the door open. 

George storms into the room.

“Why were you screeching so loudly?!” Protested George; clearly looking tired.

“Didn’t you hear creepy guy? He was talking so loud!” Shouted Mel; shaking from that traumatizing event.

“What creepy guy? I didn’t hear him. Look; my room is next to yours and the walls are so thin and yet, I didn’t hear a thing.”

“Look at that scratch he made!” Mel protested; pointing to her scratch.

“What? That scratch, you just scratched yourself in your sleep, Mel; stop making things up; you probably forgot to take your eczema prescription.” George said; clearly looking annoyed and tired.

Mel was standing there, looking hopeless. Is she seeing things? Having hallucinations? Does she need serious, medical help?
