The day I moved into that house, was the day that my life changed for the worse. I promised myself to never talk about it again. But, I just need to tell to someone.   It all started with the day I finished college. Now that I was an adult, I thought about getting a job. I found one, but it was out of my state. My parents searched online and found a house that was in good condition, along with some furniture. I don’t want to give you any details about the house’s location because nobody needs, or even deserves, to experience what I have in that house.   I was slowly exiting the highway, and going onto the driveway of the house when I got excited the most about the independents I was going have. I got out of my car, got my stuff from the trunk, and looked up at the house, thinking about how much I’m going to enjoy the new chapter of my life. However, when I stepped up the stairs and onto the porch, up to the door, and inserted the key and turned it to unlock the door, I immediately felt a literal cold feeling grab my arm and crawl onto my chest. It made me feel like I shouldn’t be there. I shrugged it off.   <p class="Paragraph SCXO158387251" 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 SCXO158387251" lang="EN-US" style="user-select:text;-webkit-user-drag:none;-webkit-tap-highlight-color:transparent;color:rgb(255,255,255);font-weight:normal;font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,Calibri_MSFontService,sans-serif;line-height:18px;font-variant-ligatures:none!important;" lang="EN-US">I opened the door, noticing the creaking coming from the door, and thoughts were crammed into my head about this. Surprisingly fearful thoughts like, “Why is the door sound old? What else of the house isn’t in good shape?”, and, “I thought my parents said that it was a good conditioned house.”. However, my thoughts went away when I fully opened the door and looked around at the living room on my left connected to the kitchen on my right. <span class="EOP SCXO158387251" style="user-select:text;-webkit-user-drag:none;-webkit-tap-highlight-color:transparent;font-size:11pt;line-height:18px;font-family:Calibri,Calibri_MSFontService,sans-serif;"> <p class="Paragraph SCXO158387251" 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="EOP SCXO158387251" style="user-select:text;-webkit-user-drag:none;-webkit-tap-highlight-color:transparent;font-size:11pt;line-height:18px;font-family:Calibri,Calibri_MSFontService,sans-serif;"> <p class="Paragraph SCXO158387251" 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 SCXO158387251" lang="EN-US" style="user-select:text;-webkit-user-drag:none;-webkit-tap-highlight-color:transparent;color:rgb(255,255,255);font-weight:normal;font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,Calibri_MSFontService,sans-serif;line-height:18px;font-variant-ligatures:none!important;" lang="EN-US">I chuckled and said, “At least the living room and the kitchen aren’t as bad as the front door.” as I walked into the house, and closed the door behind me. I explored the house and saw that the layout of the house was that between the living room and the kitchen was a stairway. I walked up the stairway and it lead to a set of three doors, the door to my left lead to my bedroom, the right, the bathroom, I never looked in the middle door because I assumed it was an attic or closet. <span class="EOP SCXO158387251" style="user-select:text;-webkit-user-drag:none;-webkit-tap-highlight-color:transparent;font-size:11pt;line-height:18px;font-family:Calibri,Calibri_MSFontService,sans-serif;"> <p class="Paragraph SCXO158387251" 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="EOP SCXO158387251" style="user-select:text;-webkit-user-drag:none;-webkit-tap-highlight-color:transparent;font-size:11pt;line-height:18px;font-family:Calibri,Calibri_MSFontService,sans-serif;"> <p class="Paragraph SCXO158387251" 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 SCXO158387251" 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,Calibri_MSFontService,sans-serif;line-height:18px;font-variant-ligatures:none!important;" lang="EN-US">That night, I was sitting on the couch watching my new TV and eating some popcorn I made, when I heard a loud sound coming from upstairs. I was dumbstruck, because it sounded like a footstep literally stomping on wood. <span class="EOP SCXO158387251" style="user-select:text;-webkit-user-drag:none;-webkit-tap-highlight-color:transparent;font-size:11pt;line-height:18px;font-family:Calibri,Calibri_MSFontService,sans-serif;"> <p class="Paragraph SCXO158387251" 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="EOP SCXO158387251" style="user-select:text;-webkit-user-drag:none;-webkit-tap-highlight-color:transparent;font-size:11pt;line-height:18px;font-family:Calibri,Calibri_MSFontService,sans-serif;"> <p class="Paragraph SCXO158387251" 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 SCXO158387251" lang="EN-US" style="user-select:text;-webkit-user-drag:none;-webkit-tap-highlight-color:transparent;color:rgb(255,255,255);font-weight:normal;font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,Calibri_MSFontService,sans-serif;line-height:18px;font-variant-ligatures:none!important;" lang="EN-US">"You're a grown-up now." I kept telling myself, "Time to be a man." So I got up, and walked up the stairs, leaving the TV on. Just then, I heard the stomping sound again. It was coming from the middle door. Brave, but still fearful, I tip-toed up to the door and cracked the door open. The second I did two things came out and into my face: One was a cold wind blowing through the door. It was the coldest breeze I think I ever felt. The other was a metallic smell, and the most disgusting thing I ever smelled. I immediately closed the gap, and tried to process all that I’ve just experienced. I made the decision to get this out of my mind, and just try to get some rest. I wished that would take care of that, but it was just the tip of the iceberg. <span class="EOP SCXO158387251" style="user-select:text;-webkit-user-drag:none;-webkit-tap-highlight-color:transparent;font-size:11pt;line-height:18px;font-family:Calibri,Calibri_MSFontService,sans-serif;"> <p class="Paragraph SCXO158387251" 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="EOP SCXO158387251" style="user-select:text;-webkit-user-drag:none;-webkit-tap-highlight-color:transparent;font-size:11pt;line-height:18px;font-family:Calibri,Calibri_MSFontService,sans-serif;"> <p class="Paragraph SCXO158387251" 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 SCXO158387251" lang="EN-US" style="user-select:text;-webkit-user-drag:none;-webkit-tap-highlight-color:transparent;color:rgb(255,255,255);font-weight:normal;font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,Calibri_MSFontService,sans-serif;line-height:18px;font-variant-ligatures:none!important;" lang="EN-US">I was sleeping on my bed when I awakened to a sound. I couldn't comprehend it at first, until I heard it again. A knock at the window. It didn't startle me at first because I had a red rider gun next to my bed, so I picked it up and swung the curtains open, nothing. I looked around for a ladder or something, but no, there was nothing and nobody. <span class="EOP SCXO158387251" style="user-select:text;-webkit-user-drag:none;-webkit-tap-highlight-color:transparent;font-size:11pt;line-height:18px;font-family:Calibri,Calibri_MSFontService,sans-serif;"> <p class="Paragraph SCXO158387251" 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="EOP SCXO158387251" style="user-select:text;-webkit-user-drag:none;-webkit-tap-highlight-color:transparent;font-size:11pt;line-height:18px;font-family:Calibri,Calibri_MSFontService,sans-serif;"> <p class="Paragraph SCXO158387251" 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 SCXO158387251" lang="EN-US" style="user-select:text;-webkit-user-drag:none;-webkit-tap-highlight-color:transparent;color:rgb(255,255,255);font-weight:normal;font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,Calibri_MSFontService,sans-serif;line-height:18px;font-variant-ligatures:none!important;" lang="EN-US">"I guess I'm just hearing things."

I could envision some kind of blade being dragged on wood. Then I realized that it was coming from the door. I suddenly thought that a serial killer was in my room with a knife. I looked next to my bed to get my gun but it wasn’t there. How’d I lose it?! However, I did find my phone, and I can thank my lucky stars there was still signal. I dialed 911 and told the operator what happened. After I hung up, a few hours felt like a lifetime until the sound of a police siren came from my driveway. <span class="EOP SCXO158387251" style="user-select:text;-webkit-user-drag:none;-webkit-tap-highlight-color:transparent;font-size:11pt;line-height:18px;font-family:Calibri,Calibri_MSFontService,sans-serif;"> <p class="Paragraph SCXO158387251" 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="EOP SCXO158387251" style="user-select:text;-webkit-user-drag:none;-webkit-tap-highlight-color:transparent;font-size:11pt;line-height:18px;font-family:Calibri,Calibri_MSFontService,sans-serif;"> <p class="Paragraph SCXO158387251" 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 SCXO158387251" lang="EN-US" style="user-select:text;-webkit-user-drag:none;-webkit-tap-highlight-color:transparent;color:rgb(255,255,255);font-weight:normal;font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,Calibri_MSFontService,sans-serif;line-height:18px;font-variant-ligatures:none!important;" lang="EN-US">I slowly opened the door and met the officers downstairs on my porch.
