Is this dude kidding me? "What ?" I asked. "Your nose is bleeding, and that's not blood; it looks... black." he looked spooked out, even his face was pale. I touched my nose to see if he was serious or not. My hands came back covered in black fluid, I looked at him as my face paled. "What the fuck!!!" I stood up and rushed to the bathroom. When I got in, I found a couple making out by the sinks. I ignored them and went to the sink to wash away this fluid. My vision was blurry as I was cleaning up my nose.

It had stopped coming out, but I still couldn't see very well, and I also got dizzy from whatever this was. ****** Little did he know that that was the start of another nightmareComplete
