An Unexpected Visitor

It was midnight. I was in my bedroom alone catching up on Games of Thrones


and texting my friends while my family was out. My parents went out to dinner.
My siblings were at sleepovers and me, I had no plans. I had planned to spend
the day with my friend, but he is out on a trip with his family. I had candy, chips
and sodas, so I wouldn’t get hungry or bored. I can see why my parents and so
many people tell me not to eat so much sugar, because I felt drowsy and really
tired. I started to drift of the show but kept waking myself, so I won’t miss the
episode I was watching. The more I tried to stay awake the sleepier I became. I
even started to hear creaking from the stairway. I lived in an old house, so
creaking was common so I ignored I until I realized that I was home alone. The
only time the stairs would creak is when someone is walking on them. I paused
the show and listened to them as they came up. I had my door closed so I
couldn’t see who it could be. The footsteps came closer and closer and I
realized they were coming to my room. I said “Mom, Dad are you guys home?”
no one answered. I backed away as the footsteps got louder and louder. Then
the doorknob turned. I ran to lock it then the door flew open sending me flying
across the room. I got up to see who was there and I saw a shadow of a man
standing at the doorway, pointing and staring at me. Then the man vanished. I
ran to see where he could’ve gone but no sign of him. Then I felt a breath at
the back of my neck and knew he was behind me. I stood there frozen for
about 30 seconds then I tried to make a run for the stairs. That was a mistake.
As I got near the stairs something launched me into the air. It was like
everything was in slow motion because i looked back and saw the man at the
top just looking when he appeared in front of me. I was above the door pinned
against a wall. I couldn't move or breathe. The man was levitating in front of
me . While I am struggling to breathe, I asked the man “What do you want
from me?” I felt a gush of wind then the man was directly in my face. He had
no face. He he did not even have eyes or a mouth. I asked him again “WHAT DO
YOU WANT FROM ME!” To my surprise he spoke, “You're going to pay what you
owe.” I was confused, what did I owe. He said it again but as he kept repeating
it more and more the angrier he became “You're going to pay what you owe”;
“You're going to be what you owe”; You're going to pay what you owe”; YOU’RE
GOING TO PAY WHAT YOU OWE”.
As he kept saying it, the house started to shake and things started to break. I
started to wiggle to see if I could try to escape whatever kind of grasp I was in.
As I was struggling, the man looked add me and started to laugh. It was an evil
laugh. It was then that I knew I was going to get away so I begged, “Please let
me go and don't destroy my house”. He laughed once again and then said once
said once more “YOU’RE GOING TO PAY WHAT YOU OWE” then I blacked out. I
woke up, it was morning and I was in my bed and everything was back to
normal. There were candy wrappers and soda bottles everywhere just like it
was. My parents and siblings had just come home. My parents car broke down
so they had to sleep in a motel for the night. The ask me if anything had
happened while they were gone, I told them nothing. My mom looked at my
dad with a confused look and said, “Did you pay what you owed?” I told them I
didn't know what they were talking about, then my mom stood up and said,
“Well I guess we're going to do have to do this ourselves,” I was confused and
asked them what they meant. Then my dad stood up and in a demonic voice
they both shouted, “YOU’RE GOING TO PAY WHAT YOU OWE”. Then the man
appeared in between both of them. I did not know what to do but to stay
frozen.
