9 o' Clok Phantom

It started out 3 months before the 4th of July, my friend Gregory, got a DVD case that was in his bedroom, on top of his Xbox 360. He didn’t know what it was. It was a blank case. No DVD, no CD, no video game. Just an empty box. He asked his mother what this was for. I was not there to know her exact wording, but all I know from what my friend said was, she had no idea. I told him, “Do you even have a single idea what it was?”

He didn’t reply. I asked him again in the exact same wording, “Do you even have a single idea what it was?”

He just stood still, not a twitch, no expression on his face. That left me feeling like my blood was frozen.

The next day my friend forgot everything from the previous day. “What was with that DVD case, did you find out?” He replied without words but with the expression on his face. I think I knew what he was thinking. “What the hell?”

I went over to his house the next day.

I asked once again about the CD case. He said, “How did you now I found a CD case today?” Now I am starting to question if he completely lost his mind. Now I am thinking, wait? What the hell is going on…

For 3 days I couldn’t get to sleep. All research. I found out that 23 years ago someone had the DVD and they went nuts and committed suicide. I don’t know if it’s that DVD at all though. It doesn’t seem right.

On the fourth night my mom walked in and asked me, “Why are you staying up every night, are you watching triple XXX videos!” I replied, “No just some research.” She screamed, “Get to bed!”

So I pretended to sleep. I wish I could get to sleep. I wish that DVD Case never came up. I wish Greg never told me about it.

Hold on… What is so creepy about a little blank DVD case? All these wishes and questions ran through my head until I passed out. We didn’t bring up the case for a long time. It made it easier for me to sleep. Every thing was now easier and less creepy than it was before.

It is July 3rd, 2012 and Greg told me he found the CD Case again/I cut him off while he was talking. “WHY WOULD YOU TELL ME THIS! OH MY GOD! SERIOUSLY, I COULD FINALLY SLEEP AND YOU WALK UP AND PUT IN MY MIND AGAIN! THANKS ALOT!” He said, “I wouldn’t of, but it is different this time. It has a picture of someone on the case, he looks like you and wears your clothes but doesn’t have a face, like a phantom. I said sarcastically, “Okay.”

He said, “No! For Real!” I just left on the spot after he said that. Now it is the 4th of July. It was 9:30 PM and I was watching a firework display he just randomly ran up to me screaming. Words like, “Th-the ph-phantom I-I saw him. I screamed “Screw you!” He then put a gun to my head and said, “Bye.” Really quietly, but then he quickly took the gun off my head and switched it to his head and clicked the trigger. He’s gone I thought… Gone forever. Now all I see is hallucinations of him and of course, The Phantom.
