Always Watching

I sat on my couch, drinking a glass of chocolate milk. It was about 9:30 at night, and both my parents were asleep. I was watching "Meet The Browns", my favorite late-night comedy show, when I heard a rustling outside.

I let it be, but then the rustling got louder. I got up, and then there was a screaming. I immediately opened the blinds, and there was a man literally made out of blood staring back at me. I looked away, and he did too. Suddenly, I realized that this was a reflection. Monkey see, monkey do.

I almost got a knife and stabbed myself to make the blood man do the same, but I came to my senses and stopped myself. Mr. Brown said something funny at the time, so I laughed. Unwise. The blood man disappeared, which calmed me down. As I sat down, continuing to watch the show, though, I could feel someone breathing on my neck. I immediately knew it was him.

Two days later, I still feel the same breath. I'm afraid to turn around, afraid of what I could see. Maybe...maybe it's still part of my reflection. Maybe if I do stab myself... I can get rid of the blood man... maybe if I turn around I could--AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH!!!!!!!

...swallowed.
