I was in my room at home, doing homework and studying for a big test. When I was doing homework, I kept on hearing loud banging noises and footsteps. Then my mother came into my room and told me that she was going to make a quick run to the store to get groceries. I was relieved, as it was just my mother heading for my room. Just my imagination. My mom exited my room, walked into her bedroom, and I kept on hearing the noises.

I thought it was just my mother, so I didn’t think much of it. But then, an ear-piercing screech erupted from another room. It sounded like a cross between a very high-pitched sound, like a distorted radio frequency, and a scream. This certainly wasn’t my mother. I walked towards my mother’s room, but the door was closed, and the light was on. I didn’t want to disturb my mother. However, the noises had stopped. I returned to my room to do my homework.

I finished my homework thirty minutes later, and I went to my mother’s room. The noises were returning. I knocked on the door. No reply. I noticed that the lights were also off. I knew my mom said she was going to make a quick run to get groceries, but it had been a lot longer. The noises had also stopped for good. So I opened the door to her bedroom. What I saw was horrible. Blood lined the floor. It was also on the walls. I slipped on the slick blood, and fell. It was fresh. A group of people with weapons entered the room. They were dressed in all black, and their faces- they did not look human. All I could see was a black shadow over the face, which was impossible, because the lights were on. As I looked around, I saw my mother’s corpse, in the corner of the room, next to the closet,  barely recognisable due to the amount of blood on her. She was stabbed many times. One pulled out a sharp hunting knife, before I could get up and run out. Then everything faded away. But not before I heard the ear-piercing screech as the person raised their knife, and plunged it towards me.
