I’d like to begin this by saying that I am, by no means a writer so please bear with the poor sentence structure and probable bad grammar. My name is Thomas. I’m just a regular guy doing regular work with a pretty normal and quiet life. That is until last week. Something happened that I don’t understand and a lot of strange things have followed. I don’t want to talk to my few friends about it for fear they’ll think I’m crazy so I’ve turned to the internet just to get it off my chest.

It started last Saturday night when I stopped at the convenience store on my way home from work to grab a bag of chips and some dip. As I’m trying to decide what I wanted I felt like someone was looking at me when a tall much older man with long gray hair passed behind me asking in a very low and gruff voice, “How are you doing Sir?” I didn’t reply thinking he was muttering to himself but noticed he kept looking directly at me then turning away. No problem, I thought. He’s probably just drunk or something.

I dropped my stuff off at the counter and realized I forgot my wallet. Just before I get to my car I felt something push and then tighten around my entire body. Just then the tall man breezed past me with an odd grin and a horrible stare. I didn’t hear him coming at all. What the hell? What the hell just happened? I watched him until he got to the corner and went back inside to a terrified clerk. I asked her if she was okay and all she could really say was, “That man… That man…” “What happened?” I asked. She said he just scares the crap out of her and he’d been to the store three times, walking every aisle of the store staring at her the whole time.

After calling the police and insisting that she’d be fine I went ahead and left. I thought we both might have gotten shaken up by nothing but a creepy old drunk. That was until Monday evening when I decided to go check up on Elaine and grab some milk. It’s six O’clock at night and the morning lady was there. Apparently Elaine walked out Sunday morning without a word and no one has seen or heard from her since. Although this isn’t a particularly weird thing to happen at a place like this, she had worked there for over a year and seemed to like her job. I’m starting to freak out now because I’ve been seeing, hearing and experiencing very disturbing things since Saturday night. What the hell happened to Elaine and what the hell is happening to me?

Three times on the way to work I’ve had a different really old, very raggedy looking person wave at me, staring expressionless, as I drove by and when I got home last night there was a huge pile of dead flies in my driveway. So many that I thought it was a cat. My dog hasn’t slept with me since Tuesday night and keeps growling at the front door. She doesn’t growl too often so I get up to check and there’s never anything there. I also keep hearing what sounds like loud whispering in the other room only to turn the TV or radio down and hear nothing but silence. The odd thing is that it happens in every room and only when I have sound playing.

I’m starting to feel crazy.

I think that’s all I can write for now. I’ll try to type more soon.
