Watches Over You

Your bed is beside the window that overlooks the garden outside. You left it open one Friday night because you enjoy sleeping in the fresh air. You had a nightmare that woke you up, and you are now paralyzed in your bed. You open your eyes and look out the window. The moon is obscured by clouds, and a faint light shines through the night. A man with a severed upper torso is seen looking at you through the window, staring at you. He is aware that you have noticed him, but he does not flinch. His unblinking attention was rooted in you. A pungent stench could be detected, as it entered the room. Have you seen IT watching? ------------------------------------------------------------------- WSA2021/Spirity Awards Spring 2021 entry on Horror&Thriller. I publish 3-5 chapters per week. Each chapter has a word count of 1500 or more. I am a new writer doing it for a hobby and who is still learning, so I make mistakes. Don't be afraid to express your confusion or point out any grammatical mistakes. You are welcome to come by if you like. I read all of the comments. Naturally, there are certain things I can not reveal. For example, if anyone points out an inconsistency and I don't answer it, it's most likely there for a purpose. Enough of my rambling, Stay safe everyone, and thank you for reading. ~ Baibai Minna-san
