"TBH news presents you with a land that was discovered recently filled with what appears to be human remains"

"This geographical land point was found after a Diver was swept away by a current to this Land point. The Diver was discovered five days after and this placed was discovered to have many mines of many crystals you could think of, be it diamond or emerald"

"However, the land was dug up and the remains of many were found"

"Diana, would you like to take over?"

"Of course Harold"

"Now..."

I was watching patiently with my dad before the tv starts glitching before finally turning off

"FUCKING PIECE OF SHIT"

There my dad goes again, yelling at the old tv

I went up my room still hearing my dad pounding on the tv

I slumped on my bed

I feel tired but I'm not sleepy you know?

I tried to sleep, seeing as it was 20:08

I couldn't so I just stared straight at the clock as it was getting closer and closer to 20:09

*pang*

I don't know why but I feel uneasy all of a sudden

*BRRR RINGGG*

*BRRR RINGGG*

*BRR-*

"The hell was that..."

I never had or have ever put an alarm for 20:09

The feeling of unease was stronger and all of a sudden I didn't feel safe in my room anymore

I shot up the bed and went downstairs

I went to the living room and was relieved to find my dad still focusing on the now stable tv

To think this sleezy father of mine would make me feel safe

...

I didn't feel relieved for long

TBH news anchors suddenly stopped talking about the land and had spoken with much more seriousness than before

"Ladies and Gentlemen, news just in, a virus has just broken out and people are attacking each other. Take a look at this"

With that, a video popped up, and it was just like the news anchor had said

People were going crazy and attacking each other

I don't know what compelled me to look at my father. I don't know if it's because of the feeling back then or the fact that he's been quiet...too quiet

I look towards my dad and

*clang*

What I saw terrified me

My dad has no face! MY DAD HAS NO FACE!

*clang*

I was trembling and panicking so I wasn't in the right mind and I couldn't hear the noise at first, or didn't care too

But it sounded out again

It came from the kitchen

'If dad died then he must've died fast cause I didn't hear anything'

I ran upstairs and locked my doors

I blocked the door with anything heavy yet moveable

The tv downstairs was still going on

But even so, I could still hear my own breathing

"....we've just gotten another piece of information, there is believed to be a killer going around and killing people in their homes. Make sure to lock your doors and windows people or e-"

It started glitching now

'I mean if not a killer then what? an entity?"

I was still quite sad about my father's death

He wasn't abusive but he didn't have the qualities a father should have... my dad was more like a roommate to me

But still...he was my dad

I felt sad but not to the point I would mourn for him. It felt like strangers living under the same house

I stopped thinking about that when I heard another "clang" downstairs

'What's the killer doing?'

It's strange how the killer hasn't come upstairs at all...have I not been discovered yet?

If that's the case then I should think of a way out. But the thing is that my window has bars...in fact it's the only window I have in my room...I live in the attic

I can't get out through the window and I most certainly can't get out the attic door so I'll just bide my time here

I stare at the clock and to my surprise

It's still 20:09...

I count to 60 seconds and the hands still don't shift

I take the clock and turn it backwards

I grab the screwdriver in my room thinking the batteries died

But what I saw shocked me...

"...there seems to be more than one killer folks"

My heart's pounding louder and louder

'I didn't take it out...'

I grab the screwdriver and make my way to a corner of the room

I stare in horror as a fog seeps it's way into my room

'Where is this coming from'

I look towards the door and found it seeping through there

It's been about a minute and I can't see anything

It's too dense

'I can't stay here'

I muster up my courage and head out of the corner

I take away the things blocking the door and unlock the door. After I do all of that I head out and make my way downstairs

I peep my head towards the living room and although the tv was on, it was paused. But that's impossible because all of this is live.

I mean unless the tv is lagging

I go downstairs and the stench from what I know is my father's corpse make me stop in my tracks

I snap out of it and walk out the front door

After walking out a few steps away, I hear an explosion

*boom*

I'm sent flying and I crash unto a tree

"Fuck" was the last thing I said before I lost consciousness.
