STORY STARTER

Submitted by Bailey Lindblad

You come home after a long day at the office, and collapse into bed. You feel something under your pillow. You pull out bloody feathers from some kind of black bird...

The Crow

I went to the office just like any other day. When I got there my friend Janice had bought our whole team coffee for the up coming project. Benny another friend on the team had shown up with donuts and kelaches apparently everyone wanted to pull an all nighter. As we discussed what we were going to do and talk about while presenting then I pointed out that someone who had enough sleep to present this. They all decided that I would go home early so I could present since none of them wanted to. So I left the office about 11 o’clock at night as I’m heading to my apartment about 10 minutes away I get the sudden feeling that some one was watching me. I had watched a million movies about girls who drove home late at night and then would get kidnapped so naturally I grabbed my pistol from the hidden capartment in my car and walked into my complex. I quickly ran to my apartment still feeling I was being watched I called my boyfriend and told him what was happening and he had stayed in call with me till I fell asleep. I woke up about 3 am and saw something standing in my door way the figure was tall and slender all black. I turned on my lamp but nothing was there so I turned it off then I saw the creature once again this time closer I turned it back on and it vanished I continued to sleep with the light on that night was to afraid to turn it off. After a very restless night I woke up bright and early to prepare for the presentation at the office. I checked around my apartment to see if anything was misplaced but there was nothing unusual that’s when I noticed a mirror right in the middle of my living room. It had this weird presence almost as if it lead to somewhere else I thought I was imagining it so I just went to work to clear my head. I met with my coworkers to talk about the project and stuff that’s when I saw the creature again so whispered to my coworker Brenda and asked if she saw it to and she did. It was the same one from last night but the time more shaped like a tall bird almost resembling a crow. The rest of my colleagues saw the same think and got scared I explained what had happened the night before. They all started sharing stories of what they saw previous nights before all the same. Feeling stalked, waking in the middle of the night to see the creature standing there, turning lights on and off, feeling afraid and helpless. I had a plan I told every one to bring the mirrors left in there living rooms and told them to bring them to work. That night everyone went to sleep I was so tired I just plopped on my bed and slept. It had been a very long day at the office I was to tired to notice anything wrong. When I woke up my hair felt cold and wet I don’t remember washing my hair last night so I felt under my pillow and the was this huge black bird seeping blood all over the place. I screamed a bloodcurdling scream. I frantically texted my coworkers and the same thing happened to them. I didn’t go to work that day because I was to frightened at what might happen there. Nobody went we all stayed home. Slowly each of my coworkers disappeared that was one week ago now I’m pretty sure I’m next.
