Five years have passed, I had moved out of my parent's house  and into my own. I  have forgotten about the man in that creepy mask... that's, until a few months ago.  I have just gotten off work at McDonald's, when I got home I went to bed. I was about to enter Dreamland until I heard a knock on the window. I felt like my heart stopped, I didn't move, I just laid there, wondering what in the world I should do. I decided to suck it up, and bravely open the window... there was nobody there. I was about to dismiss it as my imagination until I looked on the other side of the street, and there he was. He stood still like a statue with his mask on. How does he have a mask with the exact same look? I ran to my phone and called the police. I told them that I was being stalked but when I looked outthe window, he was already gone. I instantly remembered when I was ten and I first saw this guy. How? I guess it just seemed so familiar. However that wasn't the end, I don't know when it might end.  A few weeks ago I'd just gotten into bed and was about to close my eyes when I heard a loud noise, like a stone being  throw into  my window. I grabbed an old baseball bat I had, and slowly walked down the hallway to where I heard the sound to see that my window was broken, and I noticed a rock on the floor. I picked it up and saw carved in the stone the words, "You're next.". But right before I could understand what this means, I felt something that felt like a club was being plunged into the back of my head, and with that everything instantly went black. I woke up to bright lights, I observed my  surroundings  and saw that I was in a hospital. I turned to my left to see my parents and a doctor, they explained to me that my parents had came to visit me but when they knocked I didn't answer. Turns out I had forgotten to lock the door because when they turned the handle it was unlocked. When they came in they s <span class="NormalTextRun SCX147281070" style="user-select:text;-webkit-user-drag:none;-webkit-tap-highlight-color:transparent;">aw <span class="NormalTextRun SCX147281070" style="user-select:text;-webkit-user-drag:none;-webkit-tap-highlight-color:transparent;"> me lying on the ground with a giant  <span class="NormalTextRun SCX147281070" style="user-select:text;-webkit-user-drag:none;-webkit-tap-highlight-color:transparent;">bruise <span class="NormalTextRun SCX147281070" style="user-select:text;-webkit-user-drag:none;-webkit-tap-highlight-color:transparent;"> on the back of my head. I asked them if they found a rock in the room but they sa <span class="NormalTextRun SCX147281070" style="user-select:text;-webkit-user-drag:none;-webkit-tap-highlight-color:transparent;">id <span class="NormalTextRun SCX147281070" style="user-select:text;-webkit-user-drag:none;-webkit-tap-highlight-color:transparent;"> they didn't. I guess he only wanted me to know that I'm next for whatever this psycho wanted to do with people, was he a  <span class="NormalTextRun SCX147281070" style="user-select:text;-webkit-user-drag:none;-webkit-tap-highlight-color:transparent;">serial <span class="NormalTextRun SCX147281070" style="user-select:text;-webkit-user-drag:none;-webkit-tap-highlight-color:transparent;"> killer or something? <span class="EOP SCX147281070" style="user-select:text;-webkit-user-drag:none;-webkit-tap-highlight-color:transparent;font-size:11pt;line-height:18px;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif;"> <p class="Paragraph SCX147281070" lang="EN-US" style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;user-select:text;-webkit-user-drag:none;-webkit-tap-highlight-color:transparent;word-wrap:break-word;font-weight:normal;color:windowtext;" lang="EN-US"><span class="TextRun SCX147281070" lang="EN-US" style="user-select:text;-webkit-user-drag:none;-webkit-tap-highlight-color:transparent;color:rgb(255,255,255);font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif;line-height:18px;font-variant-ligatures:none!important;" lang="EN-US"><span class="NormalTextRun SCX147281070" style="user-select:text;-webkit-user-drag:none;-webkit-tap-highlight-color:transparent;">Today I saw in the newspaper that a few months ago the mask the police from the family muder was missing from the station's evidence locker. In an interview an officer remembered locking up the locker, but the next day he looked inside and found it missing.

Why does he need that one mask so badly? Why not get another one? Maybe I'll never know. <span class="EOP SCX147281070" style="user-select:text;-webkit-user-drag:none;-webkit-tap-highlight-color:transparent;font-size:11pt;line-height:18px;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif;">  <ac_metadata title="The man in the mask"> </ac_metadata>
