As I arrive home from football practice, it was just a normal night, all the neighbors are headed inside.That’s when I see a figure in the distance and it has a human figure to it with beady red eyes, and it has a strange aura around it. As I start to think to myself what to do, I start to walk to it, not realizing what the suspicious figure is, and the figure does the same.
