Kitchen Shapes

I saw it one night. A shape moving into my kitchen like it was afraid of the fact I saw it. Always I go to the kitchen to see if it’s still there in the dark or not. I’m always too slow to catch up to it. By the time I reach the kitchen it’s always gone. By the time the shape sees light it’s gone. Ducking behind the wall that covers the kitchen like if a neighbor got caught looking at your yard through his hedges.

No matter what I try it always hides before I can reach it and curiosity slowly consumes me by the passing nights when I do see the shape. I can’t really make out what it is or what shape it is. Circular or rectangular. What is it? What can it be? I’ve gotten so used to whatever this thing is that at this point I want to find out what it is! More specifically how it looks. Sometimes I even see it in the corners of my eyes at night no matter when the lights are on or off. Again it flees and flees from my vision.

This has to be a sign that I must catch and see what this thing finally is. So unlike the nights before I came up with a plan. I’ll be completely in the dark to do this. No hallway lights to assist me or scare off this thing. So I turned off the lights, lay against the wall, and waited. And waited. I got so quiet that I was practically in the darkness. Not a soul living or not could notice I was in the darkness.

I then had the feeling that now is the right time to confront this thing so I can finally discover what it is. Or even to finally have a good look at it. I jumped out of the way dashing into the kitchen HELL I EVEN NOTICED IT GOING INTO THE DARKNESS and… quietness prospered but the sound of my quick heartbeat was the only thing that was playing throughout the house.

In the dark I noticed that I can no longer see the kitchen like I was usually able to do. I have finally caught this thing CORNERED IT EVEN! But then I realized I may have asked for too much. I’ve gotten what I’ve wanted but… it was a mistake.

I finally got a glimpse of this… this thing! Oh god! I regretted even thinking of seeing it! OH GOD! WHAT WAS I THINKING?! WHY DID I PUT MYSELF HERE?! OH LORD SAVE ME FROM THIS THING!! I DO NOT WANT TO STARE AT IT ANY LONGER!!! FROM THE HORRORS I’M SEEING, WITNESSING, STARING I CAN TELL NOT EVEN GOD CAN SAVE ME FROM THIS THING!!! THE WAY IT LOOKS!!!! HELP! HEELP!!! HEEELP!!!

I’M SO SORRY FOR WHAT I’VE DONE!!! FOR WHAT I WAS THINKING!!! FOR WHAT I’M SEEING!!! IT’S HEEELL! IT’S REALLY HELL ON WHAT I THINK IS A FACE!!! IT’S HEEEE-!!!!!

Thank you for reading my story it was inspired by an IRL moment of mine where I could have sworn seeing something heading into my kitchen in the middle of the night when I turned on my hallway lights one time. Spooked me real good.
