Stairs

It was a quiet evening at Manila, I was watching TV with my aunt and my siblings that time. It was already passed midnight…I remember going upstairs to get my phone as when I walked through the room I found my phone laying on the bed, I remembered putting it on the table just beside the door. “Hm? Didn’t I put this on the table?” I asked my self.

Then suddenly I heard footsteps coming from the stairs, at first I thought it was just my siblings or Aunt cause they usually stomp on the stairs. But I realized that it wasn’t them after I hear it jumping on the stairs with its loud stomp. “AUNTY!” I screamed. But no body answered. I was already shaking in fear to the point that my heart was racing.

I gathered up the courage to open the door of the room but all that courage broke after I opened the door. The hallway was pitch black, I can barely see a thing. The stomp was getting louder and louder through the pitch black hallway I can hear something or someone running all the way to the room.

I quickly closed the door, “Shit WHAT THE F*CK WAS THAT” I screamed as I cried trying to call for help. I locked the door and too a big pipe blue pipe out of the closet. I sat at the corner of the room for a while, but I ended up sleeping.

After that I could see my siblings, including my aunt trying to wake me up. They asked me if u was alright because they found me laying on the floor as if I fainted. I was so relieved to see them I was still shaking, I forced after hearing what my youngest sister said.

“Ate did the bad man on the stairs scratched your neck too?” She said.

“What do you mean..?” I asked.

I touched the back of my neck, I could feel it stinging. I looked at my hands to see blood. I didn’t know what else to do so I looked back at my siblings and Aunt to see that they were worried.

But it didn’t end there, a week has passed and the back of my neck still aches from the pain. As I was walking home after buying some snacks for the movie night I could see that the street like wouldn’t stop blinking.

From afar, I can see a black like shadow standing at the end of the road. I didn’t think much about it so I kept walking, The shadow like turned out to be my uncle. He fetched me after what had happened last week.

We were on the way home, the street lights were blinking. Which is unusual because when I went to the store earlier the lights were okay. But then I heard footsteps from the back, I already knew what is was so I held my uncle really tight.

“What’s the matter dear?” My uncle asked.

“I’m scared can we hurry up and go home?” I asked.

He already knew what I was talking about so he quickly carried me all the way home.

Later on I went investigating the stairs, and what I found was an ash of a human. I quickly told my mom about it and she called the police. The homocide detectives were there and I was only here standing beside my mom.

After that I was shocked to hear who murdered the dead guy…

It was my uncle.
