My One and Only Fear

"Slowly once again, matters met with fate to create something so untouchable. You can't see it, you can't hear it but.. you can feel it inside you! It enrages the child in us all and shows us that our fears really are always there sitting right next to you everywhere you go."

This is my story on what happened to me. Imagine a black creature with red eyes and 6 inch long claws. It crawls on all fours, only being at 4 feet, 5 inches tall. When this thing stands it is 9 feet tall. I encountered it several days ago. Me and my wife were walking home after a New Year's Eve party. We arrived around 12:45. We both couldn't fall asleep so, we had sex on the year of 2014. I was so joyful about i, because who doesn't like sex on the new day of the new year? After 30 minutes we both went to sleep. I woke up around 4:15 after first hearing a strange yell. I ran to my safe and got my Sawed off Double Barreled Shotgun, Janet told me we would never need it. But now I need it to save her! I then ran down stairs after day dreaming for what seemed like forever, to only find out that Janet was outside with the back door locked. I went to go unlock it when she started to point behind me but I didn't listen to her. That was my mistake, because as soon as the door opened I turned around and saw the scariest fucking creature that stood before me and knocked me out. I woke up to the sound of the garage being opened up. But I thought to myself, “We don’t have an electric garage only a door handled on!” I ran down to my garage and saw Janet, she was covered in blood and her right hand was missing. “Janet HOLY SHIT! What happened to you my sweet!?” She only responded with, “He’s coming after you too because you saw him!” She fell to the ground. I reached for her only to feel that her heart has stopped working. Most likely a heart attack.

A week went by, and I went to her grave I cried for a while and then walked away. I turned around and looked at her grave one last time. Her right hand was there with the middle finger out facing toward me with a note on it. I hesitated before reading it, thinking that the creature would be waiting for me. But I don’t think it would kill me in front of all these people, I ran toward it and read the note. “You can’t hide from your natural fears!” I dropped it and looked around…. I saw him in a tree across the cemetery. This shit has just gotten to crazy for me. I yelled at him, “JUST KILL ME IN MY SLEEP SO I DON’T SUFFER please.” He disappeared after I yelled tha. I lost all sanity after a few days and couldn’t ever feel him when I was insane. I fell asleep at night and saw him in my dream, he was just watching me and every movement I made his eyes would follow. He started to run at me and entered my body. As soon as that happened I woke up next to a dark creature. It was about to be the break of dawn, I tried to relax and hope that the creature wasn’t him. I was gonna tap the creature but instead I walked away. It got up and followed me until I stopped after a couple of blocks. It ran at me and grabbed my leg before I could even make a single movement. It kicked my kneecap and busted it, you could see my bare bone broken and it was laughing at me. I saw he was carrying my shotgun. I took my chance as soon as he dropped me and I grabbed it. I shot once *missed* SHOT TWICE *missed*, and it bit my left hand off and left it alone. It then shoved its hand inside me and grabbed my appendix and crushed it. I fell to the ground once more and used my last moments of life to write this, my name is Riley Brown and I hope he doesn’t get any of you. I had my turn to stop him but failed, please try to stop him before he kills anybody else.

(One Week Later).........”Officer Brown your brother died from this supposed creature of some sort.” Arj are you sure? Riley was a hunter he wouldn’t to have had to have di…..WHAT IN GODS NAME IS THAT!?” He stood there and watched the two officers before he left Riley’s left hand there with a note attached to the middle finger pointing out. “Welcome to the fear that always follow you around.”
