I'm sorry but we no longer allow spinoff stories without going through a spinoff appeal. Looking at your story, I'm afraid that it doesn't meet our minimum quality standards due to a number of punctuation, capitalization, spelling, grammatical, and wording issues.

Punctuation: apostrophes missing from contractions: "Thats when I saw the envelope.", "thats when the scratching started", etc. punctuation missing from dialogue. "I simply said(comma missing) “ (improperly spaced)NO…NO no no no no no(punctuation missing throughout)”", "face(comma missing) “I don't remember getting any mail recently(punctuation missing”", "said “life itself is only a vision, a dream, nothing exists, save empty space and you…and you…are but a thought”.", "I screamed at the top of my lungs “HELLO”", etc.

Punctuation issues cont.: commas missing where a pause in sentence flow is implied. " Around 10 seconds later it came again but this time louder."

Capitalization: failure to capitalize the starting letter in dialogue, "its (It's) satan (Satan)", "it must have been satan.", etc.

Grammar: their=possessive, they're=they are, there=indicatory: "their seemed to be more to it" it's=it is, its=possession: "it’s fleeting", "“its satan” I whispered to myself."

Spelling: "it had been crying black inc (sic)", " I muttered to my self (myself).", "it was 5:30 which was convenient because that was about 10 minutes before i original planned on getting up..."

These were a few issues I saw at a glance, I could go into more depth, but I don't think it'll help much as the issues extend to the story itself. I'm sorry, but we no longer accept these stories as they tend to be poorly written and have numerous cliches.
