The boy named Johnny woke up from his deep sleep, he looked up towards his closet to see it slightly opened. He thought to himself as he did not remember opening it before he went to sleep, suddenly the door started shifting open ever so slightly, though it was still noticeable to a young, frightened boy’s eyes. Johnny quickly shuffled and fell out of bed hurting himself in the process, he quickly rolled under the bed taking his favourite teddy with him. From under the bed he looked at the door open more and more, two feet came out of the closet, they were pale white like a ghost.

 

All of a sudden, he heard a voice coming from where the mysterious, ghost like figure was standing. “Mommy, Daddy!” the voice shouted, it sounded exactly like his voice. Shuffling throughout the hallway was heard when the door to his bedroom opened letting a bright shine of light through from the hallway. Screams followed, as his parents ran as fast as they could away, the mysterious ghost like figure following, directly behind them. The boy quickly got out from under the bed and ran towards the backdoor, leaving his favourite teddy, and family, behind. He ran out leaving the backdoor wide open and began running towards the neighbour’s house when he heard, “Johnny, where are you?” coming from back inside exactly like his mother’s voice.

 

Johnny slowly stopped running and turned back seeing a black figure staring at him through the window that looked like his mother. He slowly began to walk back towards his house, the thing eerily staring at him like a hawk. His ‘mother’ called out again saying “Come inside Johnny, I got you a present!”. Johnny creeped up to the backdoor and entered the household, now knowing it was too late to turn back. The backdoor suddenly slammed shut as soon as he entered which frightened him and put him even more off edge. He quickly turned back and tried to open it to no success as it seemed it was locked from the outside, which was impossible since there was no lock on the outside.

 

That’s when he heard it, his mothers voice coming from the other side of the hallway, but it was slightly off, now that he was closer he could hear it well, he quickly rushed into his bedroom turning and locking the door just getting a small glimpse at what he formerly thought was his mother, it had pale white skin, it’s eyes were bloodshot red, it was evil and he knew that for sure.

 

Continuous banging came after, each one getting stronger and stronger, the door couldn’t handle it for long. Johnny quickly climbed into his closet, grabbing his favourite teddy bear on the way, the door to the closet shut just as the door to his bedroom collapsed in.

 

Nothing came through the door though, which caught him by surprise, he started to calm down thinking it was all just a dream.

 

Until he heard the ice cold breathing along his neck and the small whisper in his ear, “There you are.”
