There’s Something That Haunts My Hometown, And I’m Terrified What Will Happen If They Ever Find Me

What would have happened if They had gotten through that locked door? I don’t know that, either. All I know is that, very rarely, but still all too often, someone would make a mistake. A husband wouldn’t check the locks enough times. A wife wouldn’t close the shutters all the way. A child would become curious and open a window, just to see… And in the morning, the town would be short one family. No one ever mentioned the disappeared family again. Just like Them, it was like they’d never even existed. Their house would be sold, the new owners would look out for any crack They might come in through and the months would go on.

After what happened on my last Night, I’m certain all those security measures were useless anyway. They could always come in anytime They wanted. I don’t know what They are, what They do to Their victims, if They eat them or drag them to hell or unmake them or what. I don’t know what’s Their connection to that town. I do know that, if They want to show me, a locked door won’t stop them.

I lock it anyway, just in case.
