Are you alone in the house?

"911 What is your emergency?"

Harmony shook in fear as she stared out her window. Hesitantly she answered, "Y-yes... hello, My name is Harmony Selton... I'm very scared, please help me."

"Alright, Harmony, what seems to be the issue?"

"There seems to be a man outside my house..?" She couldn't look away, curious as well as frozen with fear.

"There is a man outside your house. Okay, Harmony, what is he doing? Are you in any danger?"

"He's walking in circles... I-in my yard. I have no idea how long he's been out there now.."

"Has he approached you, or your house?"

Harmony swallowed hard,  "No he has not."

There was some clicking and shuffling on the operators line, "Ok, Harmony, I want you to lock your doors. Are you alone in the house?"

"On it... Locking my front door now," She hurried and locked the front door. Shakily, she locked The door handle's lock, the latch, and the deadbolt, "Yes, I'm alone in the house." She pressed her back to door, and tightened the grip on her phone.

"Okay, Harmony, I'd like you to lock your windows, if any of them can be locked."

"Uhm.. one can be locked, hang on..." She started for the window closest to the front door, and once peering out of it, she gasped!

"Harmony, Harmony? Are you okay? Whats happ-"

"He's standing on his head!" She sharply whispered, as she slowly locked the latch on the window, "a-and now he's facing me!"

"Policemen are on their way now, Harmony... I need you to stay calm, alright?"

"Please, Please get here soon.." Harmony breathed heavily as she took a couple steps away from the window, "He's watching me... He's smiling at me."

"It's okay Harmony, I will stay on the line with you, just stay calm." The dispatcher said, calmly.

"I'm so scared..." Harmony shuddered, tears welling up in her eyes.

"I know Harmony, do not take your eyes off him, do you hear me?"

"Yes."

"Make sure he's in your line of sight."

"He is."

"Okay Harmony, what does this man look like?"

Harmony, breathing heavily started to describe the man the best she could, "He looks wrinkly... His skin is really pale.. it almost looks yellow... A-and his teeth are yellowing, his eyes.... he just doesn't look right...." sweat dripped down her face in distress.

"Are there any other doors in your house, Harmony?"

"T-There's the backdoor..." Harmony paused, "but I don't know if its locked..."

"I need you to go quickly lock that door Harmony. Can you do that, without taking your eyes off him?"

"If I just back up, I think I can reach it..I-its straight behind me," Harmony breathed in deeply, "I'm backing away from the window now.. I can still see him."

"That's good, Harmony, You're doing great."

Harmony backed herself up, slowly and carefully navigated herself towards the door, whilst keeping eye contact with the mysterious man outside her house, "I'm at the door."

"Can you lock it?"

"I-I'm going to need to take my eyes off him for a second, so I can lock it..." Harmony hesitated, "How long until the cops get here?"

"They're almost there, hun... please, just lock the door so I know you're safe."

"O-okay, I'm going to lock the door now." The door was quickly locked, and Harmony turned back around, "It's locked and-" Harmony let out a loud, shrill shriek!

"Harmony? Are you okay? What's going on?"

"HIS FACE IS UP AGAINST MY WINDOW, I ONLY TURNED MY BACK FOR A SECOND!" She pressed her back against her back door as hard as she could, as if she could escape by passing through the wooden door.

"Harmony, please calm down! Police are on their way... Please, you need to stay calm..."

"He's breathing on the window!" She yelled. Panic filled her voice, "Please, PLEASE HELP ME!"

"Harmony, You will be alright, the police are almost to your home. Are you sure you're home alone?"

"ye-" She stopped.

"Harmony?"

"He's shaking his head..."

"He's what?"

"He can hear me."

"He can hear you?"

"H-he must be reading my lips or something! He shook his head when I said I was home alone!" Harmony started to tremble, "I need to get out of here...!"

The man outside continued to shake his head.

"Harmony, do not leave, the Police should be arriving now!"

Harmony looked around her house, trying to see if she could see their red and blue lights reflecting off anything, her eyes darting from wall to wall, "Are you sure? I don't hear their sirens or see-" She stopped herself again.

"Hello? Harmony?"

"He's not there anymore."

"Are the police there? They should be outside."

"N-no. They're not here! The man isn't outside!"

"Harmony, Stay calm, Don't worry-" There was a click and the line on the phone went dead.

"HELLO? HELLO!?" Harmony yelled into her phone, She collapsed to the floor breathing heavily. Panic rushed over her body and froze her.

Then, after a moment which felt like forever, there was a voice and footsteps. They approached Harmony as she laid on the floor,

"Are you alone in the house?"
