Tick, tock, Tick, tock.

I watched the clock as the day was almost ready to end

Tick, tock, Tick, tock.

I looked at the blank sheet of paper that I needed to place my career on, options for careers shifted through my head like someone who could fall asleep, the time was my enemy, and I was no hero to stop it

Tick, tock, Tick, tock.

The time felt like it was going faster as I finally found something "suitable"

Ticktockticktockticktocktick-

It stopped.

I looked around to see what has happened, my thoughts now in an ocean of questions, I looked at the clock again, dead right on 2:59, the second hand wasn't moving, in fact, nobody else was moving, it's like the world stopped dead, I waved my hand in front of my teacher, no response, I sighed, I had nothing else to do, I grabbed my backpack and left, as I opened the door I noticed something bizarre as I walked throughout the halls

Mirrors, there was mirrors everywhere

I walked up to a mirror, it was disturbing, I looked at my reflection, it was me alright, but there was something behind me in the mirror, I turned around, expecting someone- or something behind me, but there wasn't anything, I was confused, then my phone buzzed, as I pulled it out i noticed that the time was still stuck in place, but that I also received a text message with no internet, which is physically impossible, because with no service, you're like a deer in headlights, nothing to do, nothing to see, I sighed and opened snapchat, at least I can document what's going on through the app, then I noticed the message was from snapchat, I read the message, it read "Here you are." I was confused, the bitmoji beside it was what you would have when you haven't set it up, except it had clothes, and hair as well. But no face, no lips, no nose, it creeped me out, without thought I replied with "Who are you?" I guess I was so used to talking to my friends I type without thought, no response yet, I put my phone back in my hoodie pocket, and walked through the halls, 'till I found the door for outside, I opened it as my eyes widened, the sky. It was nothing but a giant eye, staring right at me, I gasped as I hid under the roof, it started scanning the area, looking for me, as it didn't notice, I ran off into my car, hastily, I placed my key into the ignition and started the car, I didn't care about school now, I needed to get home fast, I backed up and started driving, I took a peek through the sunroof, the eye found me, I noticed little dots on the sunroof, I tried to wipe them off, but I realised, they weren't on the sunroof, like a racecar driver I shifted into fifth gear as these weird spider bugs started to fly towards me, I screamed as one landed on the window of my car, I used the windshield wipers to get rid of it, but more of them were coming to get me, with haste I stopped into a gas station, I grabbed my keys in ran into the store, finding some chain I wrapped it around the doors handles, there, that should keep them out, I sighed as I went to the drink stand, grabbing a cup for a slushie, I poured half blueberry and orange cream, I was exhausted from what just happened, I grabbed a straw and drank some of the slushie, then I heard movement in the backroom

"Who's there?" I yell, that was stupid, that's how you die in literally every horror movie! I finished the drink and hid under the counter as I heard footsteps coming my way, I closed my eyes in fear, then I felt something nearby me, I slowly opened an eye, it was a person in a barista outfit, they seemed to be cleaning the desk, I needed to get out, as it went to the other side of the room I got up from my hiding location, not without knocking a few plastic cups down, I caught all but one, that one cup that made me get caught, the person walked over, I could hear their shoes tapping on the tile

Tip, tap, tip, tap

I made one last effort to leave, but there was one of those godforsaken bugs on the door, and I was not going near that thing, and then I heard a friendly voice

"Hello there!"
