Closed Eyes

If you are reading this, then consider yourself lucky. I just managed to escape

that......that creature and type this all up on my laptop as I hide in my apartment

closet. Now I apologize if my grammar and spelling may be really sloppy, but that is

only because I don't have much time. I am writing this to warn you and EVERYONE of this

monstrocity that is going to be the death of me in a short amount of time. It is a

creature referred to as Trapo Espiritu which is Spanish for Rag Spirit. I know it sounds

dumb, but please keep reading. I was warned about this being by my Mother who has been

warned and told of the story by her Mom. A generation to generation sort of thing. Well

anyways, Trapo Espiritu is supposedly known to go house by house each night, provoking

the host of the house(s) and slowly and brutally killing them. Where Trapo strikes next

is never known, but death can be avoided and that's precisely what I am here to tell

you. First off, if Trapo will be visiting you next, you'll know the day that follows the

night of it's coming. There are four signs of Trapo's approach. Your day will go

smoothly and not a thing wrong should happen except, you'll feel a strong gut-feeling

that something isn't right. Throughout your day, you will be able to see figures in your

peripheral vision whereever you go. This will not scare or startle you surprisingly, but

whenever you turn to see the figure face to face, it will have vanished as if it were

never there. These figures are believed to be the ghosts of Trapo Espiritu's past

victims. You will have gone somewhere on this day, maybe work or the store, but

somewhere nontheless. You will come home, and when you do, you should see a small piece

of white notebook paper taped to your front door. It should say in clear, and neatly

written letters, "ojos cerrados." Upon finding this paper, it is imperative that you

burn it in your fireplace. Make sure no one sees the paper, nor the burning of it. Your

last sign will be that you will go to bed at twelve o' clock unintentionally. Even upon

knowing that you will, you will without intention. Now, this is the time to get comfy

and adjust whatever needs to be adjusted like pillows and etcetera. This is the only

chance you will get to move at all until sunrise, so take clever advantage of it. Once

you get into a position that you are sure you will not toss and turn in, you will fall

to sleep. You will have plenty of dreams during the time of your sleep. Dreams you never

knew were possible. Dreams so real, you feel as if it's more than a dream. Like you're

really there. Do not take this time for granted and enjoy it while you can. You're

pleasure will turn to fear real soon. By the time your dreams are over, you will become

fully aware of the noises around you as if you have just closed your eyes and went to

bed. Your eyes, still closed. Be sure to keep them that way for the next two hours. It

should now be four o' clock and two hours until sunrise. Now, Trapo's game begins. You

will begin to hear a scratching sound at your door. Trapo Espiritu has arrived. The

scratching will carry on for a minute or two before stopping dead in it's tracks. Your

nose will begin to itch greatly. Don't scratch it. The itch will go away on it's own.

Trapo is now spiritually connected to you. Now, let's discuss Trapo's appearance, since

you'll never see it for yourself if you want to survive. Trapo has the body of a normal

human being. He stands at about six foot three inches tall, and is a bit round at the

waist. Trapo is no human though. He is made up of messily sown rags and leaves. He still

makes out a perfect humanoid look though. His face, no different than yours or mine,

except with two sown up eyes. Trapo cannot see you, find you, or kill you while his eyes

are sown shut. The only way his eyes can open is by none other than....you. Since Trapo

Espiritu is now spiritually connected to you, you pull the trigger of your own demise.

If you open your eyes even the slightest bit, it will cause the stitching in it's eyes

to unravel. Then, it will be able to see and kill you in it's slow and gruesome manner.

How I ever escaped? When Trapo attacked, I managed to evade it's attack and locked it in

my room to buy me some time. Don't think that this means you can run away from Trapo

once you've opened your eyes. Once Trapo's eyes have been opened, it will follow you

until given the chance to kill you if not done there and then. I only have mere minutes

left of my life until it comes. I cannot stop it. All I can do is warn you. So I

continue here. After your nose itches for some time, Trapo will now be in the room with

you. It's stench like that of rotting eggs and scum. It's voice, raspy and deep. Trapo

will begin it's game by crawling up the walls and ceiling at a slow eerie pace. Making

noise while doing so. Ignore this and keep your eyes shut. Trapo will notice your

resistence and will begin to call your name in it's grostesque, deep voice while still

crawling. Keep your eyes shut and don't move. Try imagining something that you really

like to do. That will make it easier to ignore. Trapo won't stop there, though. It will

move on to things even more tempting. You may here a breaking of glass or ripping of

stuffing. It may sound and feel like your favorite toy or most prized possesion is being

ruined. Don't worry. Trapo cannot break or touch any of your things. At least, not when

it's eyes are still sown closed. Trapo will then begin to cheat a little bit, as you may

feel some sort of liquid dripping onto your face. Mere drips, but still keep quiet,

calm, and eyes stay shut. If you made it this far, it should now be five o' clock. One

hour left until sunrise. One hour left to go through with this. Trapo Espiritu will be

well aware of this and will start using more drastic tactics then before. The slight

creaks that you heard on your walls and ceiling will turn into violent thumping. Your

name being called, will have now morphed into a very recognizable voice of a loved on of

yours who most likely passed. Do not be fooled. This is not your loved one. Just another

one of Trapo's impersinations. The voice will be growing louder and more demanding the

longer time goes on. The liquid dripping on your face will have increased in rate and

you may feel drenched by it. If you still have not opened your eyes and kept silent,

then it should now be five fifty in the morning. ten more minutes. Now, Trapo is

starting to get desperate. The thumping you heard will now be replaced by what feels

like an earthquake in your room. Your bed will start shaking violently, covers thrown

off of you. The liquid will have stopped, but this is replaced by the terrifying fact

that Trapo is now on the end of your bed. Your eyes are almost able to open on there own

so you must now keep your eyes closed as tightly as possibly. Stay calm. Stay still.

Keep your eyes CLOSED. It's almost over. Trapo's demanding shout of your name in a loved

one's voice will now have changed to a violent screech of your named in the same voice

but warped and ruined. It is now one minute until sunrise. One minute left. Stay strong.

Stay calm. Stay still. Don't scream. Keep your eyes CLOSED. Your bed is now shaking even

more violently then before. Your head, vibrating. Your body, shivering in the freezing

cold. Your ears, shriveling from the piercing scream of the malevolent entity. Trapo

Espiritu...... is now right on top of you. It's face INCHES from yours. It cannot kill

you and it cannot hurt you, but it can scare you. This is an ultimate test of bravery.

An ULTIMATE test of trust. You are now face to face with a powerful and evil being able

to kill you with ease and the only thing that is protecting you are your two, shut tight

eyes. The last ten seconds have come. With that, Trapo will scream loudly, horribly. You

will feel the residue of spit and heat and stench coming from it's unnaturally wide

mouth as it blasts your eardrums with it's shreek. Then, as soon as it started as it

will seem, it will have stopped. All of it will have stopped. The shaking, the

screaming, and even the liquid on your face will have gone. Your covers will be on your

bed and nothing will have changed. Everything will be just as it was yesturday. Not a

single thing moved. Sunrise has come, and it is now safe to get up. When you do, you

will have forgotten about your encounter with the being, and even about the previous

day. Trapo Espiritu will have gone, and will have taken your memory of it and the day

before with it. It does not want you to remember it if you survive and makes sure you

don't. You will serve yourself breakfast in your kitchen, and when you do, you will find

a small white paper on your kitchen table that says "frecuentar finales" or haunting

ends. It will all be over then. You will end up throwing the paper away and going on

with your normal life. Trapo Espiritu will never haunt you again. You have won the game,

and Trapo will go on to find another, unlucky player. If you have than thank you for

reading this far and I hope this information helps you. I finished typing just in time.

I can now smell the stench of rotting eggs and scum and can hear scratching at the

closet door. Trapo Espiritu is upon me.
