Shapes

Abbie strolled into the school and entered the bathroom, which was surprisingly empty. While fixing her hair, she noticed something moving behind her. She looked behind her shoulder and when she saw no one, she frowned. Suddenly a light breeze touched her skin and she shivered. She approached the doors and tried to open them, but they were locked. Her friends were messing with her, for sure.

“This isn’t funny. Open the doors, guys,” she attempted to open the doors again, but failed.

Suddenly she heard a humming noise behind her. She jumped and turned around. Huge black shapes were standing near the wall. They looked like smoke, but were alive. They started moving, and yeah, definitely alive. She noticed the open window and ran towards it, got out and started running. When she got home, everything seemed like a dream.

But the shapes didn’t disappear, no, they were everywhere. They made her skin crawl and her heart beat fast. No one noticed them, so she ignored them.

Weeks passed, and the shapes stayed. Abbie was angry, they were ruining her life and she decided to fix that. There was only one thing she could do. She took everything she would need and sat on her bed. They were watching her and she smiled at them.

Bringing the knife in front of her eyes, she said “No more,” and plunged the knife in her eyes. The blood spattered, but she laughed. That was the last time she ever saw them.
