Strange things

“Strange things”
Ivan Matsunaga

Ever since quarantine started, I noticed every secrets my deceased grandparents house have. An old basement filled with weird stuffs and a secret underground that turned my quarantine days into nightmares.

—Day 31 of quarantine

That night I found myself unconscious on the floor with blood all over the floor, it was my own blood I can sense it.

But I can't find a single wound on my body.
I got up and took a shower like nothing happened.

The next night the same scenario happened, me lying on the floor unconscious and blood is all over the floor and my body.

It happened again and again.

And I planned on putting a CCTV inside my house.

—Day 50 of quarantine

“Baby, why are you silent again?” Y/n asked.

I woke up from my day dream and turned my attention to my girlfriend. We started making out when suddenly— my brain went blank.

The next day, I woke up like that again but this time i saw my girlfriend's ring near the pool of blood.

I checked the CCTV footage and found out something that changed my life.

Everything was back to normal again, people go to work everyday but mine changed. I started hiding from people.

I don't wanna sleep or close my eyes for a bit, afraid of what might happen again. I remember the day I watched the footage, the blood around me wasn't really my blood but the blood of his victim.

There's a killer close to me and I'm terrified of what he'll do next.

What my other half would do.

The quarantine made him appear in my mind and now I'm trying to live a new normal life with this disease.

Bipolar disorder.

If you see me at night with a knife in my hands, RUN.
