She Thought It Was Just Another Night — Until Everything Changed

She didn’t know it would be the last normal night of her life.

By Dorothea Bautz-JohnPublished about 15 hours ago 1 min read

She spun around.

Nothing.

The street was empty.

Silent.

As if nothing had ever been there.

As if she had imagined everything.

But she hadn’t.

Because when she finally made it home and locked the door behind her...

She realized something.

The feeling hadn’t stopped.

It was still there.

Watching.

Waiting.

Inside.

Because slowly...

Very slowly...

She realized something.

The feeling hadn’t stopped.

It wasn’t outside anymore.

It was inside with her.
