One night, the clock hands at 09:25 PM.
I read my textbook in my room alone, I heard the sound of my family laughing together.
My father, mother and little brother, they are in the living room. They were watching TV together while joking, while I had to study first in my room, because I couldn't focus if it was crowded.
For a moment I pressed the book to my face to hold back sleep, then I peeked forward.
I gasped, and froze in place.
In front of me is a head, it has no body only the head. His head didn't have a single hair, his skin was pale white, his eyes were like a tiger's with a yellow color, he stared into my eyes.
1 meter distance.
My heart was pounding, my body was cold, sweat was pouring, I was trembling. Because I didn't dare to move a bit I prayed in my heart while looking back into his eyes.
For 3 seconds.
He didn't want to go, I couldn't hold back my fear, I got up and threw a book at him then I stood up and ran out of the room and slammed my bedroom door shut. My breath panting, I raised my head to see my father, mother and younger brother.
They were confused to see me.
"Lucy, what's wrong?" asked my mother. "Why are you out of breath?" asked my father.
My breath still panting, I looked at the TV that was on. They're watching a comedy show... I looked back at my family, I exhaled my breath to stay calm.
"It doesn't matter." I replied with a forced smile.
I dare not tell them now...at least just tonight... I sat in the middle on my father's right side, my younger brother on my left and my mother on my younger brother's left.
They then continued watching comedy shows, I saw them laughing happily, my heart felt calm, I tried to forget that incident.

And the next day at noon, I told my father and mother.
"If it's just the head...it must be him." my mother said for sure.
"Huh?" I'm confused.
"I know, it's him." my father said seriously. What do they mean? I'm confused.
"Who is he?" I asked a little creeped out.
But my father and mother didn't want to tell me, and told me to forget about it and because I was afraid I didn't dare to sleep in my room again until now.
_The end_
