The mysterious man
The mysterious man!
This was the strangest day of my life. There I was, calmly brushing my teeth, when I realized the face in the mirror wasn’t mine.
I shrieked in abrupt shock, as I turned around the indistinct figure surprisingly vanished. All I could see was the dark misted window beside me. ‘Who was it?’ I ran out the nearby door, to see if I could catch the man in action. I was looking around, where could he of gone? I stumbled back inside frightened of what could show up.
I strolled into the kitchen, wondering what I should do about this unknown face. I started making myself some lunch before I headed off to work. In the window above the bench the face appeared again. I raged out of the kitchen with a pan in my hand. “Where are you?!” I screamed at the top of my lungs. “What do you want from me?” I continued to march out into the garden. There he was, upright against the fence. “I’m going to get you this time!” I called.
I slowly sneaked towards the mysterious guy. As I approached him he turned around, I jumped and screamed, slowly running away. But he was defenseless. So I made a move, gradually heading towards him. “What do you want, why are you here?” He came closer and closer to me, he was mumbling something, but I couldn’t quite make out what he was saying but I was petrified. I held up my pan, “who are you?” He didn’t reply, he looked nervous about something. Suddenly, he charged towards me. I was running as fast as I could. ‘Should I turn around and hit him with the pan, or should I keep running?’ I came to an immediate stop. I turned around and got a good grip of the pan. I swung the pan and hit him straight in the face. ‘Did I just do that?’ I felt really bad for what I just did.
“What’s all the noise?” groaned my cranky neighbor. “Don’t worry Mike it’s under control.” I replied with confidence. I headed back inside to call the police, leaving the messed up looking man in the garden. I picked up the phone but in an instance, I was grabbed

    Suddenly, a loud scream disrupted the once peaceful scenario. There was a movement in his peripherals, something scrambled into the rusty quonset to his left. The hairs on the back of his neck stood up. He followed suit, a pistol in his hand. He paused before entering the building, something then attacked him, its hands clawing at his…

    Snow started to shower as if on a peaceful rainy night and I look for any opening, trying to escape this creature that was following me. I could make out a large building figure ahead and ran directly to it, exhorting my energy as I advanced through the shivers in my body and aching bloodstained legs. An old tainted church-like mansion appeared as the fog cleared and I forced my way up the frigid sleet hill and onto a rusty pavement beside the building. I leaned upon the 5-metre tall wooden door trying to hear any sound coming from inside the outsized building, trying to sense any civilisation as the sky slowly turned into a rich black shade. I knocked onto the polished door, trying to depict a reaction from the owner that might've lived in this secluded place. Lights started to rapidly appear above the door and forming a luminous loop around the entire mansion, whilst the door blew open with such force that I was knocked back onto my spine. I tried to scamper away on my knees as a spine-chilling sensation started to form from what was a supernatural…

    All of us hadn’t spoken since we were rescued. The other boys had been released into the public, after the heavy examination. I am under watch in a mental hospital. I noticed a glimpse of light.

    I pulled my beanie securely on my head as I crouched down on a sturdy tree branch. My hunting knife reflected the dim light of the moon. It glinted letting my prey know I was there. "Yeah, I love a good chase!" I jumped from branch to branch as I chase my target. His brown hair was starting to gray but he ran pretty good for someone in their late forties. At least that's what boss lady said. I jumped down quietly as the man began to get tired. He began huffing as his pace slowed. I knocked into his back sending him into a tree. His chest heavily moved with his ragged breaths. I slowly approached him as I pulled my hunting knife back out. "Let play," I said in a deadpan tone. My eyes lost their light as I stared down at him.…

    I came to strapped in a bloody and foul-smelling chair. The air was tarnished with fumes of death and burning flesh. I heard screams, but I can't remember if they were in my head or not. The mirror in front of me revealed a grotesque monster covered in blood and a brand on its neck. I was glaring in the mirror, snarling at my own reflection, which revealed the true me. A natural born, full instinct killer.…

    My body shoots up suddenly and vomit arises from throat. My head is pounding. It feels like it’s banging against the window of a moving bus. It’s an earthquake. I rush to the bathroom, chunks spewing out of my mouth as I run. I hear a creak. My mind registers another presence in the room. I am afraid. I slowly turn my head cautiously, my face frozen is fear, eyes widening as I take in the figure before me. "Beth" I whisper…

    He’s-“ The creature yelled, and midsentence it just vanished. After that, I began to notice strange shapes coming into view in the distance, and I realized that I was now standing on what appeared to be the roof of a high-rise in the middle of an unfamiliar city. I looked over the edge of the building, and once again I couldn’t tell if there was any end. As I stood there trying to find my bearings, I was shaken from my thoughts by the sound of clanking metal. I turned to find the source of the noise, and saw a metal cage. In the middle of the cage sat a ragged looking man with manacles on his wrists and ankles chaining him to the floor of the cage. His clothes, if one could call those rags clothes, were tattered and torn. He appeared extremely malnourished, every curve of his ribs showing just beneath the skin. His hair was dark, and matted with filth, and his face was gaunt and sickly. In stark contrast to his appearance were his eyes. He looked close to death, but his bright emerald green eyes still seemed to be full of life, and they looked strangely familiar.…

    The Invisible Man

    • 1039 Words
    • 5 Pages

    Throughout life there are moments where an individual must conform to society and the people around them in order to be accepted, however it is the individual actions and how the individual chooses to conform that creates their unique identity and place within that society. Ralph Ellison published the novel that follows a sense of outward conformity and obedience to an established order while at the same time invoking an inward questioning of the roles an individual plays within such an order. The main character is forced to conform to the cliché laws and expectations of the laws and expectations of the society that he lives in, in order to survive and function within them, while he privately goes against these societies in order to define themselves as individuals and uncover the truth about those societies that they live in. The outward conformity and inward questioning constantly clash, causing the character to doubt and confuse with what he knows is the truth and what he wants to believe is the truth.…

    March 24, 2011 was a cold, bitter day. I had sat in my chair in front of the glass, slider, door peaking out to the house across the river that had haunted me for years. I could just make out the shadow of the young man who had frightened me throughout my childhood. The house held a cold glaze and it's horrifying characteristics seemed to escape from the windows of the house. I had planned this day over and over for three years. Everyday I'd think, and I'd think, and I'd think, about every movement of my plan to execute the man that took my life. I had boated down the river about a quarter of a mile so I could come to the house through the back of the woods. Gun in hand I stepped out of the boat and began my trek through the woods.…

    I was led by the smoke cloud to a quaint little cottage. It did not appear to be vacant. As I was approaching the door, I noticed a faint glow in the arched window. I assumed it was candlelight. In the corner of my eye, I sensed movement. A blurry and small outline of a person topped the hill. I decided to go in to the cottage even though the movement still was etched my mind. Once in, I walked through a small sitting circle and felt warmth from the fire burning stove. Into the kitchen was a table with food. A warm and fresh prepared meal was set out for two guests. The table had turkey, peas, green beans, bread and pie. I hadn’t eaten since this morning so I decided to help myself to a plate. As I was about to take a bite of the turkey, the wood door pushed open. This sound startled me to the point of coughing. The blurred figure came through the door. It was the person I saw in field. That person was carrying a basket full of garden vegetables. When the person saw me, she asked me who I was and why I was in her house. I told her about my hunting experience and how I had walked upon the cottage. I let her know about how cold it was and that I needed a little warmth and something to eat. She didn’t feel sorry for me in the least bit. I felt extremely bad because she had made this meal for her husband and children. I gave her my regards and lots for rabbits to enjoy. I left on my horse…

    I ran after the guy, as I couldn’t see him any longer, but only heard the sounds of cracking and snaps that came from the brush as he ran. I reached the man as he came to a stop. I began to handcuff him when I hear more footsteps around me. I again pulled my gun out and shouted for anyone else to come out now. Two men step out from behind a tree, One had axes. I had my gun locked on him. I told him to drop the ax. He just laughed and looked to his left as another man appeared. I was being surrounded by men holding axes, bats and other forms of weapons. I needed backup. I radioed for backup but the radio on my belt couldn’t get a strong enough signal just lost of static sounds, and I was too far to use the car’s…
