The Supernatural

They can hear you.

You've taken refuge in what appears to be an abandoned clothing factory on the outskirts of town that only a small portion of the population even knew existed. Well, they did know. They can't know anything now since they're dead.

They can smell you.

They'd compliment you like any other normal human being and be silently praying that you don't notice anything even remotely off about them. They'd occasionally run their tongues across their teeth as if they're worried they've gotten something stuck in between them and would say something harmless like: "I just had a salad before I got here; I can feel this piece of lettuce pressing up against my gums."

They can see you.

They pretend that they're walking amongst us like normal human beings as they try their best to find an actual walking pattern that doesn't draw attention. When people joke around or insult them with something along the lines of: "You're so transparent!" or "I can see right through you!" it seems that the person they were talking with always goes missing by the next morning.

They can feel you.

They ask you out on a date to the beach with their dazzling smiles and bright eyes, waiting eagerly for you to join them in the cold, sparkling water. They keep swimming farther and farther away from shore and you know you can't leave them behind so you follow after them to try and warn them of the dangers that lurk beneath the surface of the ocean only to discover the danger you've put yourself into when you're pulled beneath the surface.

They can taste you.

They always seem to have a bandage wrapped around some part of their bodies and the ungodly stench that comes from them no matter how many times they promise that they've showered and put on deodorant. They stare into your eyes and their eyes trail further away to your face and your arms and that stomach of yours and it always confuses the police when they see that you've died but the only one who could have killed you died back in 1909.....

They're taking over life as we know it.

And the human race is only feeding their addiction.
