Chapter One: Is It Real?
"And just what exactly did you see?" The officer said to me. I could tell he was trying to hold back laughter from what I had been telling him for the past hour or so. By this time I was getting really annoyed.
"It was some type of monster!" I said knowing that this conversation has been going nowhere for it's entire duration.
"Mhm... Yeah, This one's crazy." The officer turned away and walked out of the cold, grey room. I closed my eyes hoping that they actually believed me. It's not everyday you see things like this walking around, then again, I could be wrong.
"Should we look into it?" The other officer said.
"Nah, Her case is just like James'." The first officer said.
"Yeah but isn't that like a century old? Don't you think this new case is worth it?"
"I said no and that's final, and no going rogue." The first officer my sight as the other opened the door for me to leave. I walked towards door but he stopped me.
"Is this the first time this has happened to you?" He asked me but I simply shoved him aside and walked out the police station. I looked straight at the ground and saw a newspaper dated, 6/5/1806.
"Maybe I should get some rest?" I said to myself. I walked east towards the apartment complex of the lower section of the city. Once there I reached for the doorknob, as images of the dead continued to flow through my head.
"Locked." I turned around and saw a very tall man in a business suit staring at me, but the strange thing about it was that his face was completely blank. I don't mean as in some type of expression, no. His face had no depth and no eyes? I quickly turned back around hoping that he would become uninterested and just leave. I checked the door again.
"Still Locked." I began to realize how dumb that was, forgetting that I already tried. I turned back around looking in the direction the man was, but there was no sign of him. Anywhere. I stepped forward and looked both directions before I turned back around to the door.
"AHHH!" I screamed as I jumped backwards seeing the man a few inches from myself. I noticed that he didn't respond, nonewhatsoever.
"Um, Who are you?" I asked nervously, but the man said nothing he just continued staring at me.
"Well... Could you please step aside sir?" And he did exactly as I asked.
"Damn it, I still need my key." I said under my breath, I looked back at the man but he wasn't there. I turned back to the door completely terrified seeing how the door was wide-open. I walked into the kitchen, the lights flickering wildly. I opened the cabinet and grabbed a knife.
"Hello? Is anyone here?" I walked slowly towards my bedroom. Just then the front door slammed shut and the decaying face of a man flashed before my eyes, I ran through the short hallway, the monster followed me quickly with one of his legs being completely normal and the other somehow bent a variety of ways. I turned the corner into the bathroom and tried to close the door. The monster stuck one of it's "arms" in the doorway. I examined it as I tried to push harder, I was decaying also but had the length of a yardstick, and the area where the had should have been was sharp, almost as sharp as my knife. Beginning to grow tired the monster charged into the bathroom and the door flung open. I quickly hid behind the door hoping that it wouldn't see me and held my breath. It walked slowly looking around all the tight spaces, then it jumped unto the ceiling and somehow fit it's entire body into the vent. I exhaled and stepped into my bedroom.
"What the hell was that thing?" I looked at the knife in my hand, then the images of what had just happened flashed through my head most of them were of the tall man in the suit and the monster. I fell backwards onto my bed and sat the knife to my left, I turned to my right with my eyes closed. I opened them and saw the face of the monster.
