It was on a dark Friday, I came back
from school. I called out '' Mom! Are you here?'' No answer. I called out again '' Mom?'' Still no answer. Then I suddenly remembered. My mom told me that she would come late today.
So I sneaked to the kitchen to make a sandwich.
When I reached the fridge to open it, I heard a whisper saying Maryam... close...them close...your....EYES.
I screamed then looked behind me. The only thing I saw was the lights turning off then on by itself.
Then I heard another whisper.
But that one was louder... I ran upstairs as fast as I could.
But my socks made me slip.
I fell down. But I got up fast. I ran till I could reach my bedroom door. I closed the door. But at that same moment, the doorbell rang. I was too scared... Too scared to go back downstairs.
But I still did. I opened the door and saw that it was my mom.
I hugged her very hard. She asked me what had happened. I explained her the whole story. But her only answer was '' Honey...That was only your imagination.'' ''But mom... I'm sure that I heard a whisper'' I said.
At that moment, I saw on her eyes that she was worried. So I just told her to forget about it. She cooked dinner. While eating, I heard the same whisper.
I shivered. I shivered because right behind my mom was a man. That man. I remember his face. He is the one... the one who... who...Nevermind .
I did not mind. Then I continue eating. When I finished my dinner, I went upstairs to get some sleep cause know I had school the next day.
Around 3 am, I woke up. I saw the same man I saw earlier. But this time , he was laying next to me. Then he whispered something I could not hear. I knew what he said.I knew it.
Then he just got up. Staring at me so hard that I even started having a headache. Then behind me, I heard a whisper. '' Close your eyes''. Then the man just disappeared. I turn around.I turned around. I saw...I saw my...m....my dad. He lifted his hand up and started touching my hair saying...'' close them and remember...close your EYES. I heard footsteps on the hallway. I tried to get up but I could not. And then I woke up the next morning. But that time I felt dizzy. My mom was crying sitting on a chair. She was saying'' I knew it .'' Then she just looked at me. She took a knife out of her pocket. She put it on her throat. And gently started sliding it from left to right. Until her head dropped. I tried to scream for help but something strange happened. I woke up and saw that all of that was a night mare. But what I saw convinced me that I t wasn't a nightmare. I saw my mom, my dad. My mom my dad crying and saying at the same time in a sleepy voice: close your eyes.

WOW! The story started out very eerie! As I was reading I could imagine the atmosphere being snowy and gloomy, and coming home to an empty house, hearing random creepy voices! It seriously gave me the chills! Nice. The only thing that through me off was t
