I've always been a tech person. I'm the first to buy the latest smartphone, or upgrade to the latest and greatest $900 graphics card that makes my games run 10% better. However I was a bit late to the smartwatch market. In case you don't know, Smartwatches are well, watches that connect to your phone. They can send you notifications from twitter, facebook, email or texts, you can do fitness tracking checking your heart rate, location and speed, respond to texts with built in microphones, even play audio files like music from it. Being the technologically adept person I am, I decided that the previously stated features weren't enough. So I modified the operating system and added a wifi chip to allow me to connect to the internet. Modifying the watch removes software updates including minor security updates, but since it's just a watch I figured what the hell the extra functionality is nice.

It worked great for a while. Nothing out of the ordinary until one day my screen began having issues. It was no big deal as this particular device was known to have this issue. I'd just have to send it in for repairs and that'd be it. However I didn't have the money so I held onto it for the time being. On Tuesday evening I was getting ready for bed  when I realized there was a sound file being played on my watch. I turned up the volume as high as I could, and realized it was a recording of me snoring. I thought it was strange, but it wasn't out of the realm of possibility that I accidentally hit the button in my sleep. So I turned off my watch and went to bed. The next day while at school I felt my watch buzz. I had received a text from "watch yourself" stating; "Listen closely". Immediately after dismissing the text I start hearing a whisper coming from the speaker. I ask myself to be excused from class and as soon as I get into the hallway I only hear the end of it.

"...day, watch yourself. Because I'm watching you"

I didn't know if it was a joke, or if I had recorded the voice myself (it's hard to tell who is talking given the poor quality of speakers in such a small device). That was this morning. I just felt another buzz on my wrist and I'm afraid to look...
