My room looked like trash so I have decided to clean it up one day. And it felt refreshing to throw away my old stuff and try to create a new atmosphere for my studies. And I thought I did the right thing.
However, after a few days, I somehow felt uncomfortable sleeping. I always changed positions whenever I’m trying to get myself some sleep. I feel a gush of wind somewhere on my nape and with that, I decided that I will refuse to open my eyes to see what that was.
And days go by with the same routine until, one day, I always felt like someone was watching. Someone was lurking in the darkness that my neon lights cannot reach. I was scared and shivering. And this is the only time that I hate myself from being curious because I decided to open my eyes slowly to take the courage to view what was staring at me.
And to my horror, it was my big-eyed stuff toy named Fluffy. I forgot that I placed him there when I cleaned.
I thought you must be seeing a ghost, thank god it was a toy. Sometimes this eerie feeling comes to me also, specially at night. I just pull the blanket over my head and pretend to sleep.
