Emotionless Man

Imagine seeing someone in the darkness, and you are only seeing their back or that's what you think?

You could hear the laughing, but the person that you are looking at isn't laughing or doing anything at all.

It was the night of 20th October around 23 o'clock, and I was walking towards my house after my daily fitness training.

Outside was really dark and you couldn't see anything in front of you. I was using my phone's flashlight in the area's where there's no light and where I cannot really see that well. I was using my headphones and listening to music while looking around, like I normally did. All of the sudden I got a call from my mother, she called me to say that she'll be waiting for me at home. I have around 1 km until I reach home. With every step that I took forward, I would feel like someone was watching me, I wasn't so far off thought. I saw a man standing 50 meters away from me, his back was turned as I was approaching. The man started walking ahead of me, as if he wanted to watch me, scare me or something. I wasn't that scared because usually people around this time would go on a walk, walk their dogs, some were coming home from work so I wasn't always alone like this. But for some reason the man gave me unexpected chills around my whole body, that never happened to me. I didn't want to approach him, but I had to when he stopped walking. He started hitting his head on a wall of a house, there was blood everywhere. I stood there, in shock. All of the sudden he started screaming, saying some words that I didn't understand. I wanted to run away, but my legs couldn't move out of the shock. As he turned his head at me, I saw his face. My whole body started trembling, I fell on the floor and started crying. I couldn't say anything, I couldn't move. I couldn't do anything.

"Someone, help me.. please...", I thought.

He started approaching me, the black outfit made everything worse, it was like I was watching a ghost. He had broken fingers, the fingernails were falling off as well like his hair.

"No, please, no...move feel...", but nothing happened.

I can see his face very well, someone was screaming, laughing, crying but his face isn't moving at all.

"No!!!", I was screaming. It was too late...

"I'm dead am I?", I thought.

His face was really close so I closed my eyes, the trembling didn't stop. I could hear the heavy breathing, or whatever it was my heart almost stopped. The man vanished into nothing, he was nowhere to be seen, I still couldn't move my body. I heard my mother from afar, calling me. But I couldn't get up or even say anything. She found me sitting on the street, not that far from our house. She was devastated, asked me so many questions but the only thing I did is cry and hug her for over five minutes. She called my father and he came running, no one knew what happened. As he was carrying me to my house I saw the same man behind our neighbour's house, I tried showing them but they couldn't see him only I could. He was watching us, then he waved and disappeared. My parents called the police, I gave them the description of the man, but they never sawhim around our neighbourhood or in the whole city. He was nowhere to be found.

I still have nightmares from that night, it's like a never ending loop. One night, as I woke up from the nightmare, he was there, in my room, sitting in my chair and slowly turning his head to me. His eyes were pinch black, you could see yourself in them. The mother this time was sewed shut as he mumbled something strange, but his lips warent moving. The dead white skin gave me goosebumbs, I closed my eyes for a second and he disappeared. That's the story of the emotionless man, or so do I think. He might, right now, watching me from somewhere far away, or he might be next to me... I really don't know.
