that kid james: i'm here.

me: are you sure they aren't following you?

that kid james: on instagram? yes. irl? no.

me: haha. okay i'm coming.

I open the door to James. We soon became bored of blocking Unknown off of all our social media, so we went outside to climb trees.

new notification: text from Unknown
Unknown: told u there were good climbing trees here

me: this is james. stop texting or i'm calling the police.

Unknown: what are you going to show them?

All the messages were deleted. James felt sick to his stomach and went home, leaving me alone. I decided to take a bath.

Unknown: That soap smells nice!

me: WTF

Unknown: no really, i like it!

me: i'm calling the police and blocking you.

Unknown: how will you call the police if the power is out?

Black. The whole room was dark, and it was nearing evening. I quickly got out of the bath and wrapped a towel around myself. I shuddered with fear.

Unknown: why'd you get out? it's too bad you only have 54% of battery left. better not waste it!

me: please, stop.

Unknown: stop what? i'm not doing anything wrong.

me: really? you're spying on me and harassing me.

Unknown: oh well. no one will ever know. ;)

All my messages were deleted again. I heard the floorboard creak.

Unknown: hello. it's me. real and in person.

I screamed.
