wake up in the middle of the night, and it's about 2:15am...

"Ugh...again...?"

I decide to reach for my phone and watch YouTube or something...You know, when I wake up in the middle of the night, there's no going back to sleep. As I open up the YouTube app, I hear sounds outside...looking out the window, there's nothing there.

"Probably just some raccoon or something."

Listening to music, I keep hearing the sound, but I just ignore it..each time, it gets louder, and louder, and louder.

"Nah, it's gotta be some annoying cat or something."

I keep saying that, but I have the feeling of being watched.

Suddenly, loud banging is at my door, like a drill is putting something in...I check the door, and turning on the light, someone is staring in my peephole, with this...unsettling stare...I don't want to at all, but...

I have to open the door...Gently, I peep outside.

"Sir? Ma'am?"

"Hello there, child."

I was confused, since I was clearly a grown man. "May I come in...?" I did not want him in my house.

"Sorry but...I was going to sleep." was my excuse. I try to close the door but he pushes himself in the way.

"Shhhh..."

"P-please go away! I-i-i'm trying to go to bed!"

"No, you're not..."

"Why would you say that?"

"You were on your phone."

Then I knew, he was the one making the noise and watching me through my window.

"What do you want from me...?"

He pulls out a sharp object that looks like a knife. Sorry, it was a knife. It was just really dark since he turned off the lights.

"Do as I say, or I will kill you."

"Y-yes sir..."

"Stab yourself in the eye with this knife."

"Are you insane!?"

I didn't want to die...but...I took the knife.

"I'll do it."I hesitated for a moment.

...

...

...and then I jabbed it into my eye. Blood was everywhere, I was whelping in pain and fell to the floor holding my eye. "What a shame." He said...

then he stabbed me in the stomach.

I am alive, one of my neighbors found me and called 911. I'm just lucky to be alive. When I get home, im covering my windows and my peephole.
