Can You See Me?

Josh's POV

I've been feeling paranoid ever since I bought this new apartment. It always cold when I came back from classes or errands. When I sleep, I can hear someone mumbling but no one is next door. I asked if the one above was making noise, but she was an old lady. I started to wonder if it was a ghost, you see I don't like ghosts or anything relating to horror. But I had a plan…

I got my camera and put it on kitchen table. At 9:30 PM, I started the camera and went to sleep. I could hear the mumbling but it was louder. When I woke up, I saw the camera was okay and I looked at the video. I gasped.

In the video, I saw man around my age walking in the kitchen. He noticed the camera and looked at it. He sat on a chair and I could clearly see him. He had dirty brown hair, his eyes were a pale blue, and he looked thin. And what shocked me was…

"Hello, I'm Aaron."

The gh- I mean Aaron can talk, I started to grow scared.

"You don't have be afraid, I'm nice," Aaron said, smiling.

Then he began to talk about me and how he died. He died from an attempted burglary, he was shot in the right lung and died on the kitchen floor. I started to feel sad. But he told me something important.

"If you're going to live in this house," Aaron said gravely," I have one request."

"Please talk to me, if you can see me." And the video stopped.

I looked around the kitchen and asked," Are you in here?"

Then I started to feel cold, I felt something wrap around my body and I started to wriggle out. But I heard…

"I'm not going to hurt you."

I realized that it was a hug, so I hugged Aaron back.
