It was January 2, 2004, 2:04 AM I woke up to a knocking on the door. One knock every three seconds I slipped on my slippers and walked downstairs. As  I walked down the stairs the knocking got faster, almost like a heart beat. when I got to the door the knocking stopped. I looked outside but no one was there.

I went back up to my room and went back to bed, thinking it was just some kids playing a prank. At 4:21 AM I woke up to the front door slamming shut. I jumped,  terrified, looking over to my frosted window only to find the word smile written all over it in the frost. I grabbed my phone next to me, ready to call 911, only to find a message written on it saying "I told you to smile." I cried and ran for my life, running outside as I got outside I turned to look behind me and I see a guy following me, walking at first but slowly picking up to a jog and then began running. I fell, and before I could get back up the man was over the top of me smiling this hideous smile. He lifted his knife and then I woke up.
