Day 77


Day 77:

There is a sensation that makes your skin crawl, and suddenly makes you feel very cold, no matter how warm the room you are in is. That sensation you get when you thought you saw something out of the corner of your eye, or heard a noise from behind you that you can't explain. That creeping sense of unease. That sense of knowing that you are safe, and that nothing around you is there to hurt you; but also being sure that you can't know that for certain. 

It's just my imagination running wild, or maybe I'm just hearing things. It's just strange that the motion-detecting lights turned on down the hallway, when I'm all the way over here... They've turned off now, after a minute or so. Now I'm staring down a dark hallway. I think I preferred it when the lights were on. If I shine my torch down the hall, I'll be able to see. It's quite lucky I got it out of the storage unit really, my phone doesn't work too well in here. It's not strong enough to reach the far wall, or light up much at all. All it does is glisten and reflect against the metal corners of the walls, bouncing the light between panels. It almost looks like movement, but I know better now; there is nothing here that will hurt me. I see tiny reflections in the metal when I shine the torch on them. It's like the light is looking back at me. 

This is just freaking me out, I just need to turn the torch off and get back to the storage unit. It's dark again now. I don't want to turn my back to it. I don't want to look away. Are those footsteps from the main hall, or somewhere else? Just go back. There is nothing there. Step away, slowly. "AAAAHHH" . Damn it! I bumped into the metal bit of the wall. Why can't you just look where you are going? Just turn around, there is nothing there. It's dark because there is nothing there. Ok, I'm turning around, and walking away.

You are hearing things, it's not real. Just look back over your shoulder and see.

Why are the lights back on?
