N.R.

I didn't know what was happening when it started, but in the end, I knew all too well. Every night that I felt something watching me, he was there. Every time I stepped too far into the shadows, he was there. He was always watching... He stalks you in the night, even in the day. You weren't even safe when you were near the shade of a tree, because he was there. Watching. Always.. Watching.. Watching from the corner of your bedroom, or outside your window as the sun sets, or from the crack in your closet door.. He was watching me. He was ALWAYS, he WILL ALWAYS watch me. He'll watch you to you know.. He'll watch you, but you wont believe.

Everyone said it was my imagination, that it "WASN'T REAL", but the shadows moved like they were alive, and the darkness acted like it could breathe. He was there. He made it come to LIFE. I wasn't safe in the day, because the shade was his spy. He spied on me through their eyes, and he waited for night to fall. He WAITED. He ALWAYS WAITED. They sad it was fake, said he was fake. They said HE WASN'T REAL.

He attacks you at the last minute of night, of true night, because the morning starts at 12:00, so he attacks at 11:59. He always comes then. He was WATCHING the clocks, he was WAITING for the right moment. I didn't know at first. I watched the clock, I watched the darkness, but I couldn't surprise him!

DAMN IT, MITCH! DAMN IT!.....

I woke up... It was 11:50. I had 9 minutes to go before he came. Who was he? Why did he want ME? Why did he come ONLY to ME? I saw the shadows move, I could fell the darkness inhaling around me. He was coming. I KNEW he was coming. He was WATCHING me!! I looked at my clock. 11:55. I still had 4 minutes to go until he came to stalk me. It was just another night. Maybe he'd do his usually and stand there. Stand there in the darkness with that shadow covered face of his... But he wouldn't. I KNEW something was going to happen. I could FEEL it. But what..?

11:58... I couldn't handle it anymore. "AHHHHHHHH!!!" I screamed for the mercy I knew he wouldn't give me. I throw my blanket over my head, and I shut my eyes tight. My screams echoed around me. They repeated my fear in the never ending void of darkness. I was a fool to think I was safe. The darkness was still in my room... under the blanket... behind my eyes...

I opened my eyes, and lift my blanket enough to see my clock. I froze in fear when I saw the shining green numbers.

11:59...

Something vibrated in my room. I couldn't help but remove the blanket from my head. What I was is indescribable for the English language. A figure stood at the foot of my bed. He was a dark grey, and his hair a complete jet black. He had no nose, no ears... Just two blood shot eyes and a slit of a mouth. The darkness around him was unnaturally dark. He had made it COME TO LIFE. The darkness was being commanded by HIM.

He darkness lifted me from my bed, and brought me toward the dark creature. His feet weren't touching the ground, because he had no feet. From his knees down were consumed I shadows, so he hovered in midair. The shadows he commanded wrapped around my neck and started to strangle me. The other dark tentacles started cutting into parts of my body that had expose bare skin. As I looked into his eyes, as the blood drained from my body and the life was being taken out of me, I could only think of one thing to say...

"Who are you?"

The thing smiled at me. The teeth in it's mouth were sharpened to a point, and as he spoke, shadows ozzed from his mouth.

"I'm... Not Real..."

That was the moment I died. The creature "Not Real", N.R. as I call him, killed me that night. I'm writing you this the night before this event will be happening, because I know that I am about to die. I saw it in the dreams the creature gave me... I warn you, DO NOT GO INTO THE SHADOWS!! He WILL find you! He WILL WATCH YOU! He's always watching... always waiting...

Just remember, please remember, what ever you do... Don't turn your back to the darkness...
