Danny Dare
I saw him again the next day.
I was outside behind the store on my break, soaking up a bit of vitamin D and lurking on Vine when my phone screen randomly turned to static and shut off. I peered warily at my iPhone, praying that I wasn't going to have to buy a new one. Electronics were the one thing I indulged myself in excessively - besides music - and iPhones were ungodly expensive.
Something then made me glance up, and pure horror washed through my body as my eyes fell on the source of my distraction. 'What the fuck...?' I thought frantically and stumbled backwards. A cold, numbing static settled on my brain and in my ears, and I found the effort of movement almost too much under the blanket of whatever the air held. All I could do was stare straight ahead at the figure before me.
There was a tall - very tall - man standing just barely inside the tree line, returning my gaze and just as unmoving as I was. The business suit he wore was midnight black, and a scarlet tie was tied neatly at his throat in an almost unrealistically crisp fashion. The dress shirt he was wearing under the suit was a stark, blinding white, made even more bright from the harsh Florida sunshine reflecting off of it. These details weren't what concerned me though.
He was as white as a sheet of paper and his skin looked like it had the texture of some sort of fabric. He was completely bald and his proportions were wrong - disturbing actually. Yes, he was extremely tall, but his legs were the majority of his height. They were long and spider-like and his equally spindly arms reached all the way down to his knees with long pale fingers that looked a little bit like claws. And that wasn't even the worst part...
He had no face.
Little dips that hinted at eye sockets where on either side of a thin, elegant nose. Below that there was no mouth - none at all.
Oh. My. God.
A scream started to gather in my throat, but before it left my lips he suddenly vanished - I didn't wait for him to come back.
Break time over.
