|| Warning: mention of blood due to nosebleed. That's about it. Apologies for any errors. If there are any, please inform me. ||

It was such an ordinary day for him.

Everything seemed to be going well and things were quiet.

Maybe he could talk with one of his friends and plan something with them. Maybe a game they could play together or just plan some future skits. Doing collaborations with others was fun and made them feel inspired. It invigorated them. So, it's what he did.

"Hey Jack! It's been awhile since we've talked," he stated, sounding rather excited. "What's up?"

The young man smiled widely, responding, "Nothing much. Everything has been going rather well and I just wanted to call you. Maybe plan some future collabs if you're up to it."

And that's when they began to talk, having casual banter. They did plan several future projects and collaborations with each other. There was some serious conversation before they began to joke around with each other like any friends would. And that's when it happened.

"Hey Jack, your nose is bleeding," Felix informed him.

He frowned, touching the blood that was flowing down his nose. "That's unusual. I rarely get nosebleeds. I don't know why this is happening."

Tissues. He needed tissues.

"I'm going to have to call you back Sean. I'm not sure if it's my connection or your connection that's -"

And then the call disconnected. He frowned before remembering that his nose was still bleeding. With that, Jack pinched his nose in order to stop the blood from flowing down his nose and went to look for a tissue. He made his way to the bathroom, grabbing some toilet paper and using it to plug his nose. Hopefully, it would stop the blood from continuing to leak.

After a few minutes, he did notice that it did stop the blood flow and now it was about cleaning the blood that had dried around his nostril and below his nose. As he looked in the mirror in front of him, Jack noticed a dark shadow that was definitely not his. Turning around, he saw nothing but his own shadow. Shrugging his shoulders, Jack simply turned to look at the mirror and made sure all the blood was cleaned. Really, it was unusual for him to get a nosebleed but for now, he didn't think much about it.

As the day progressed, everything went back to normal. He messaged Felix, wanting him to know that he was fine. Jack ate and after a few hours of taking time for himself, he was getting himself ready for bed. Suddenly, there was a drop of blood on the bed sheet, which turned to many drops of blood before he pinched his nose and rushed to the bathroom. He did the same thing he had done several hours ago, waiting a few minutes before removing the toilet paper. Yet, the blood continued to flow down and he was beginning to worry. Why was it not stopping?

It was beginning to drop into the sink.

He wasn't sure what to do and it was scaring him. When would it stop?

Jack didn't seem to realize that some outside force, something sinister, was the reason for the endless nosebleed.

Someone who made his appearance during this month.

It was a sign that he was resurfacing to commit horrible acts and do whatever he wished.

Hopefully, the nosebleed would stop soon.
