I was taking a shower while I heard my house door open but I didn't mind it because I knew it would be my mom who went to the market, as I finished taking the best shower ever I realized that I forgot to bring my towels.
*Oh come on not again*
and I yelled from the bathroom "Mom could you please bring me the towels I forgot to take them" I waited for the answer that never came back and I shouted again "Mom?" but there was no reply, I slightly got worried and I opened the door to look around hoping, that it was my mom who just opened the door
and at that moment I saw something terrifying, I was confused, I felt frightened, I could feel shivers all over my body, questions were filling up inside of my head, I froze on the spot as I was watching my mom who looked like some kind of monster, her clothes were fully covered in blood, her beautiful Brown eyes has turned into a dirty red color I couldn't see any human emotions into her cold gaze
and I knew that something terrifying and awful was coming.
