Ghost under the bed

I did not imagine that I would be betrayed by the person I used to tell my secrets to, and sometimes I listen to his stories, which I always considered to contain tragedy. But it never was.

Unlike all people, I am the first to befriend the ghost under his bed. I know that it is suspicious; But that's what happened.

It started when I was sleeping one night, and I woke up to a disturbing sound coming from under my bed. I opened my eyes, complaining, because I had been suffering from insomnia for several days, so waking me up now was like a death sentence for whoever did that to me.

I opened the mobile phone on the table next to my bed, and looked under the bed, while I was directing the light towards it. I was not fully conscious, as sleep was completely controlling me, and I said nervously: stop doing that, I have work in the morning, and I want to sleep. Without any waiting for a response, I turned off my phone and went back to sleep.

I didn't remember in the morning except that the sound disappeared after I turned on the light, and it was over. I thought I had forgotten about it, but that thought kept coming to my mind all day, so I wondered: Did I really talk to the ghost under the bed? Is there a ghost under my bed?

I smiled, assuring myself that I needed to see the doctor soon because it had become so difficult, I ended those thoughts with a strong blow to the head that brought me back to reality and to the work that had to be done.

In the evening, exhaustion took over my body, so I threw myself on the bed without changing my clothes, and the result was that I woke up again to the sound coming from under my bed. I rubbed my eyes and sighed because I was tired, and before I grabbed my phone to see what was happening. I remembered the soft body that I found yesterday after shedding light on it. That memory made me retreat a little from doing what I had done previously, and I do not deny that I remembered all the old stories, which I thought were just myths, but it is happening now. Until the sound subsided a little, and I didn't move until I fell asleep.

I woke up avoiding thinking, despite the pain that afflicted me as a result of my wrong way of sleeping yesterday. I went to work as if nothing had happened and when I came back I was determined to face it if it happened again.

I waited a long time without sleeping; But he didn't make a sound until I fell asleep and didn't feel myself until I woke up in the morning. I was angry and wanted revenge, and I said out loud: Do not think that I will not confront you despite your attempts to scare me, and I certainly did not receive any answer, so I went.

When I came home without any introduction, I pointed my phone at him. I knew he had acted recklessly. But that's what happened.

His form was strange and unlike anything of any description I had known before, he looked emaciated and made no reaction to my behaviour. We looked at each other for a while and, contrary to my expectation and belief that I would be startled, I found myself calm and felt some sadness in him - I was stupid - so I asked him: You have been here for a long time, haven't you? The truth is that I did not expect an answer, so the situation is still strange. I am talking to my fears, I am talking to the demon that I have always been afraid of confronting. But he answered me, saying: I have always been here. (His voice is strange, unlike anything I have known before.)

Our relationship developed later and we became friends. He told me that he was tired of the vague and terrifying idea of him and that he was happy with my friendship.

My sleep became peaceful because we talked every day before I fell asleep about all my fears, and he was also talking about old friendships before he found his way under my bed. I was reassured by the thought of his presence and the presence of a friend in my life, albeit from another world, until the night that I had never waited for came.

It was night and stillness filled the place as usual, I heard him whisper, I woke up and he repeated it several times and then after he felt my awakening he told me that he felt someone outside, I panicked at the thought of someone breaking into my house while I was defenseless, so I breathed calmly before I took any action and took the vase with me just in case for anything. I know there is no time for regrets; But for the first time, I regret leaving the house without lights because I don't know the source of the sound and I'm afraid it might surprise me at any moment

I walked quietly, and when I approached the light switch, I felt a breath close to me, my feet were trembling, I encouraged and opened the light to face him as I threw the vase towards him, and the feeling of victory that only lasted for seconds overwhelmed me.

tried to escape; But he took control of me and tightened his grip, and I felt my mind remind me of all the fears I had told with my new friend, and with difficulty I was freed again, and I felt as if my soul was being taken away from me. I wanted to feel freedom for a few minutes, but I was shocked when my friend appeared with an expression on his face confirming that he had obtained something that he had wanted to possess for a long time.

I realized that he and his friend united to set me down, and now I am on my way to perdition. If you find my letter, remember not to trust the ghost under your bed.
