The Man on Channel 61

I woke up to the sound of a radio broadcast emanating from my TV. I was very surprised by this sound since for one, shouldn't there be the sound of static rather than this? And two, why was THIS playing? Growing angry from this disruption, I changed the channel. By chance, I landed on a re-run of American Dad.

Alright! This is a good show! So I then go back to sleep. Once again, I was woken up by that same sound. This time, I KNEW something was really wrong. I then checked to see what channel I was on. Channel 61 it said. Now why would I tune my TV to dead air? Something was very wrong. Before I was about to change it back however, I saw colors on the screen.

Was this really dead air? This wasn't making sense! But then, a picture faded in. The image showed a man dressed in a cartoony costume, spouting with green and blue stripes on his jacket. The man also had red, messy hair that looked to be untrimmed. Another odd detail was that he wore those goofy glasses with a large nose and mustache on it. What was the most striking detail however, was his fearful expression. He genuinely looked afraid, as if he was intimidated.

What is this? Is this normal? I guess I have to watch... The shot was facing the man as he was reading something to the audience, or me in this case. I had no clue what he was saying since he had a thick accent of some sort, it sounded like a blend of French and Russian which distorted his voice badly. I could tell he was reading a story since he looked at a small, worn out book.

This went on for 2 minutes before he dropped the book on the ground. He now stared into the camera with a dim witted expression. That was a waste of time! I then reached for the remote before a gargling sound emerged from the TV. What the hell?! I looked at the screen to see the man's expression change from dim witted to menacing. What was he going to do now?

Not many seconds later, the man grabbed the top of his head and paused for 30 seconds. Why is he grabbing his head? What will happen next? I hope to god this will lead to something funny... Then, the man pulled his head off like a mask.

What I saw could not have been normal...

The man's real head was lacking of skin and showed blood covered muscle that built up his face. Veins were also seen tied around his face like tape holding a ball of paper. A massive crater was on top of his head and had a purple liquid in it. Then, there was his face. That awful, awful face. His massive eyes were that of holes, with the bottom of his eyeholes curved upwards, and his mouth was curled into a large, open smile with skin present where his teeth should have been. Loud, alien-like laughing was blaring my speakers.

I was very much terrified by what was happening, I felt myself shake, I began to sweat down my forehead, and I started to fell my heart beat fast. I had enough of this horror, so I grabbed my remote and pressed the power button. Instead of the TV shutting off, the man spoke, he muttered in the same alien voice...

"5/18/28"

Then, the TV shut off, and I was left staring at my reflection on the TV. Looking as pale and horrified as I imagined.
