Deep Darkness

Series

I have decided to write my experience about what happened to me a couple months ago, in hopes that if someone were to encounter this creature they would know what to do. And not be like me

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

My eyes fluttered wide open. I look to my left and look at the window. It was still dark. I ask myself "why am i awake? It's still night!"

That sequence of events took 3 seconds.

2 seconds later a feeling washed over me just like when a cold shower hits the skin and makes it recoil.

Fear.

My eyes suddenly shot out of my skull,wide searching for something- for what? I don't know.

Dread.

My hands gripped the bed sheets, trying to hold on as i felt for some reason that i would be propelled out of the bed and into the sky. I could feel the veins in my arms trying to pop out of my skin and run away.

Terror.

My heart was racing. It's like it was trying to run away while my body was holding it back. It was beating so fast it almost felt like it was going to explode just so that it doesn't meet someone.

Panic.

I was shaking. Shaking so much that i shook the bed and filled the room with the sound of the bed trying to hold itself together against my rattling.

I didn't know why i felt like this. I looked to my left again and to the light coming out of the street lamp and onto that part of the bedroom.

And there,just behind that light in the corner of my room was a blackness. At first i didn't notice it. But the corner of my room became blacker and blacker and blacker until i could see it just like the sun in the day that.....THAT part of my room, the corner. Was blacker than the night and blacker than the darkness in my room.

Then even in that abyssal black darkness, blacker than the darkness it is surrounded by. I saw something even more blacker develop, this time it had a shape.

At first it started looking as if it was a blob of mass which had tentacles of various sizes and lengths,some as thin as a cigarette and some even bigger than my arm.

It contorted and formed itself into a rough shape of a man, at first it was small, but when it exited the black void it was so tall. It was over 7 feet tall.

I tried getting out of the bed but i could not. I was so awestruck by the sight and so shocked that i could not move.

For a full-blown minute nothing happened the creature did not move, my heart was beating fast, sweat trickled down my forehead. And all i could smell was a faint smell of sulfur and blood. The smell although faint drowned out all the other smells in my room.

Then after a minute of stillness, the sound of breathing came from the creature.

It started out as a heavy sigh, you know how when people are drowning and suddenly wash ashore on land and they fight loudly for air to get in their lungs? It started out as that type of breathing.

At first it startled me so much that i jolted. But i was still in bed.

After 15 painful and long seconds of heavy,clinging to life breathing from the creature it mellowed out into casual mouth breaths.

They were slow,arduous and filled with malice.

The creature took a step, then another.

Until it was in the light, the light avoided it and it's like it consumed the light.

Then suddenly, it's form changed.

It was still tall, but it's skin was now paper white, it's blank black head was now the head of some man i did not recognise, and what was scary about that mimicry is that it looked PERFECTLY like a man! No flaws on it's face betrayed that it was not human. It was simply a perfect disguise.

But its eyes, they were fully black.

It walked towards me, leaned and proceeded to breathe in my face. It pulled up one of its finger, planted it on my biceps. The touch was so gentle and tender.

Then it ripped a small but long line across my biceps, it drank the blood on its finger. A smile of satisfaction appeared on it's face.

Then it did the same on my other arm. I couldnt move, i was struck still by fear.

And after it drank my blood again,Then it stood upright. Pulled out its phone and proceeded to call me.

Once.

Twice.

Thrice.

Four times.

Five times.

Six times.

Seven times.

Eight times.

Then it stopped.

It spoke. its voice was loud but it felt so far away, like it was in some sort of void and it took time travelling.

"Find those 8 people"

A smile appeared on its face, now the voice sounded completely normal.

"And save them, if you can!"

It started to laugh. But its body and face did not move, mouth was as still as a river.

It walked backwards changing its form into the black mass and retreated into the void. The darkness disappeared.

I quickly jumped out of my bed and turned on the lights.

Nothing was left of the creature.

I grabbed my phone and looked at who called me. And i saw 8 phone calls which came from different phone numbers.

I then proceeded to run out of my house into the nearest ambulance to get my arms stitched up. The damage wasn't great but it was hurting and bleeding.
