17. The Disembodied Voice


17. The Disembodied Voice

The house Krh21 grew up in was ancient. When they were about eight, they started seeing strange shadows and hearing voices. Their parents would dismiss the accounts as part of their imagination. Most were unsettling, but nothing was ever too scary. One night, three years ago, they were laying on their couch with the door open when they got the feeling that they were being watched. No matter how hard they tried, they couldn’t shake the feeling. 

Then the hairs on the back of their neck stood up, and they knew something was right behind them. They felt someone’s breath on their neck, and a voice said “We can see you.” They screamed and jumped up, and ran out of the room.
