Electricity break

It was a cold day of autumn, there was a thunderstorm since the beginning of the afternoon. I was heading to the library after school, where I always study. The library was giant and I was always sitting in the back of the room because it was quieter. I also didn't want to be bothered. Once I arrived in front of the table where I always sit, I grab my books and homework in my school bag and took a couple of pencils in my pencil case. My first homework was an English essay about urban legends. I wrote it about a woman and her child that would have tragically died immediately after a violent car accident. And, like in all the creepy legends, it said that "She would be haunting the surroundings to find her child". So cliche. I studied for 2 hours non-stop and it was already supper time. I was hungry but I wanted to finish this science homework I've been struggling with. I didn't see the time passes and yet, it was 22 o'clock and completely dark outside. The library was even supposed to be closed and I was the last student left. I left the library and walked in the empty hallways when, suddenly, the lights went off. It was pitch black around me and my eyes couldn't see anything. "A power cut." I thought. Lightning probably hit an electric wire. I continue walking, kind of really scared of being in the dark hallway of this empty school. I tried to focus on something else but I had a weird feeling in my guts. I heard a sound behind me so I turned around but I could barely see it. The thing now in front of me. It looked like a woman but her legs seemed broken, her right knee bent in an unusual direction and her arms and neck twisted. "A little bit more and her head would do a 360." I giggle at the thought. Again, so cliche. I decided to be rational and figured out that it was probably my imagination messing around and the fact that I couldn't see correctly. Since she was standing there, I asked "Who are you?". No respond. Then the lights flickered a bit. Just enough so I could correctly see what was standing in front of me... It was exactly what my imagination imagined earlier... A creepy woman with completely broken members and white eyes. Her body was covered with dried blood and dirt. I was frozen. I quickly got rid of my school bag and ran in the dark as far as I could. I was running, running so fast till I found a familiar glowing EXIT. I went out of the school and looked behind, which I regret. -She was, or it was, standing right behind the exit door, holding it open. I quickly turned around and continued running into the town. I will never forget this demon...
