A father was going to his son's room to wish him goodnight.

When he entered the room ..........

He saw his son(danny)....

His son was staring at him...

Danny was sitting straight...

His eyes .... They held a fear of something , they held some story that was unknown, his eyes was red and big very big .....

( author - the eye that you're looking at is real that how Danny eyes are looking towards u .... do check if there is someone behind u .... Or behind a curtain .. It can also be under your bed 😌 lets stop my stupidity)

Danny's father was shocked by seeing his son at this state .. He goes to danny and ask " son what happened? Why are u asleep yet? Why are u sitting ? Everything fine right? "

Danny replied with shaky voice " Father the-r-ee is someon..ne under my b-bed "

His father replied "U are still a kid * he said it while laughing* do u still believe at this age (Danny is 12 yr old) that someone under your bed"

Danny " Bu-tt father i am say-ying truth *danny started shaking with fear* "

Father replied " okay , okay dont get so scared i will check under bed okay " danny shook his head indicating yes.

His father bent down and pulled the bedsheet a little bit upward to see under ......

Now it was his father turn to widen his eyes....

He saw ....

HIS SON UNDER THE BED.

His son that was under the bed said" fatherrrr * while crying* there is some-o-one on my bed " .

His father was shoked he looked upward to see his son that was sitting on the bed..

 ~~~ THE END ~~~~

  2) ITS NOT ME

A girl was sitting in her room doing homework . She heard her mother calling her from downstairs .

Her mother said " Emmyyy...." * in a very sweet voice * ( in my home if my mom is calling my name in a very sweet voice that means☠️☠️ i am dead) .

Emmy was startled as she does not often hear her mom calling her name this much sweetly..

Emmy replied " YEAHHHHH * screaming from upstairs from her room* "

Her mother did not reply anything .... Emmy said again " YEAHHHH , U WANNA SAY SOMETHING MOM"

Her mother did not reply anything . Emmy sighed and got out of her room as she was walking down from stairs ...

Someone took her hand and forcibly took her to the room that was just behind staircase

Emmy was shocked, she tried to scream but that person covered her mouth and said " I-its me-e ur mother * said with shaky voice* " .

Emmy was confused as why her mother was scared and why is she reacting like this, she was the one who called her downstairs.

Her mother said in shaky voice " It-t was-s not me who called u-uu"

" It was not ME , someone else is in kitchen that called u " * she said all that very scared.

EMMY WAS SHOKED VERY VERY...

Her mom told her to not say anything as she was hearing some cutting vegetable voices...... BUT ...now she is not hearing it or i should i say she is hearing footsteps coming toward where they are ......

THE END

We bought an old house ,my boyfriend and i. He is in charge of the "new" construction - converting the kitchen into the master bedroom for instance , while i am on wallpaper removal duty.

The previous owner papered EVERY wall and CEILING! (Author - Who the hell!!! paper the ceiling like yeah u can do walls but ceiling, like what the hell) Removing it is brutal, but oddly satisfying. The best feeling is getting a long peel , similar to our skin when u are peeling from a sunburn . I dont know about you but i kinda make a game of peeling , on the hunt of longest piece before it rips .

Under a corner section of paper in every room is a person's name and date . Curiosity got the best of me one night when i googled one of the names and discovered the person was actually a missing person, the missing date matching the date under the wallpaper!!

The next day,i made list of all the names and dates . Sure enough each name was of a missing person with dates to match . We motified the piece and they naturally sent out the crime scene .

I overheard one teach say "Human".

Human, what's human?

One teach came and asked me " Mam where is the material u removed? "

Well i was confused as to why are they asking me that so i asked them with straight face "why? "

The teach said " well miss.... that was not wallpaper, u were not Removing a wallpaper but rather human skin......."

(Author'- what the - i am speechless☠️☠️)"

(Author - the pic u are looking at now is my imagination how it would have looked if the human skin *wallapaper * had eyes or mouth-- i am dumb don't mind me )

**THE GOD**

"If god exists, why is there so much evil in the world?". It's a common question , but it is misplaced . All the things must have balanced . Light and dark . Good and evil . Sound and silence. Without one, the other cannot exist.

"So,if thats true then god do NOTHING to fight evil ?"

That might be ur following up question. Of course he fights evil. Relentlessly. I am dartalian , one of his most holy and righteous angel. I roam the earth , disposing off evil wherever i find it .I kill the monsters that u don't even want to know about .

I crush them completely so u can sleep in night , u human have no idea how many of u live because of the work , i do.

"But what about the Stalin? Hitler? Ted Bundy? Jack the Ripper " well those are minor one that i had to let live. For BALANCE.

The ones... i destroy are .. too HORRIBLE and vile to survive.What's funny is while i would wager u never have heard the name Dartalian in any religious text, i bet u have heard of me.

Americans, for example , have their own name for me its....
