The Reflection

It was getting dark. 6 PM. While I was ready to go home, before I tried to reach for the door knob on the front door, I saw a sticky note. It said,: "Gianna. Me and your dad are going to a business trip tonight. We won't be gone for too long. We will come back later, maybe at midnight. If you're hungry, the food is in the microwave. And if you need help, just give us a call, honey. - Mom."

After reading the note, I felt a little scared. I am not used to being alone. But oh well, it's just for the night. I went to my bedroom to get my blanket, and went to the kitchen to get the food from the microwave.  And went back to the living room to watch a movie. The movie made me so scared. But then, there was a deafening silence in the room and made the movie stop in the middle of the movie playing.

"Hello. Good afternoon, everyone. Today, we came to excuse our self. Just in, a murderer escaped the asylum just now. The murderer can be seen with a hook on his right hand. If you saw someone with this feature, please call the police immediately to let them know the murderer's whereabouts. Thank you. "

Then the movie suddenly played again. How could they stop the movie? I only knew they could stop TV channels. But I didn't think of that way too much. I was terrified. After some few minutes, I saw a man behind the glass door, behind our TV. The murderer is just outside our house!!! Looking at me trough the glass door!! I'll consider myself really lucky if he doesn't break through in... Our living room is only with glass doors. I panicked when I saw him. He had a hook on his right hand. He didn't look decent at all. He looked old, bloody shirt, his pants were torn. He wore a black big jacket that his hood is covering his entire face. What I could only see was his smiling mouth. I quickly covered myself in my blanket. And tugged it tight. And hurriedly called the police. The police isn't too far from our house. 2 police officers came in with guns held in their hands. I felt comfortable now. "Kid. We didn't see any people. Maybe you were just hallucinating. And that horror movie you're playing right now is making you more scared. Don't worry. You're safe." The first officer said with an assuring smile. The second officer randomly went behind the sofa. His jaw dropped in a second after he positioned himself to look at something. Something that's "terrifying". So curious to look at what the second officer just saw, the first officer also dropped his jaw. In shock. "Holy gee!!! This couldn't be true!!!" The second officer shouted. Afraid to look at, but still couldn't help but look at what they saw, I leaned backwards behind the sofa to see a bloody knife with wet footprints all over behind the sofa. The knife was sharper than our kitchen knife. I trembled in fear again. This time, my heart was beating faster than before. I was sweating in fear.

"Kid, why is there wet footprints here? I'm thinking that you thought the murderer was outside the house. But he was inside the house, just behind you and the sofa. Smiling behind you. He was inside this whole time! Inside!!!" said the second officer. I developed the thought of that the murderer I saw was INSIDE the house and not outside! He was behind me!!!  Thinking of this everytime just makes me tremble in fear. Therefore, I saw his REFLECTION.
