Before this story starts i just want to tell you that the characters in this story is not their real names.

Hi, I’m Alice and i have a very thrilling expirience. It all started when i was 6 years old. My parents decided to move to a bigger city and ofcourse i was exited, The thought of entering a new school and having so many friends, i couldnt wait. The day finally arrived when we get to move. I sat inside the car hoping to get there shortly, And within a few hours, we arrived. Our house was the smallest in our neighborhood, so i was a little upset. When i was unpacking my bag, I saw a person across the road. He was a man that probably has been in this neighborhood for a long time. I thought he was just getting his mail or something, so i rushed over to the closet and hanged up my clothes. Until my phone rang, and i felt air, air that passed my neck…It is what feels like breathing, I thought i was just tired from the trip so i continued to hang up my clothes. When i finished, i decided to take a little nap. And sudently i woke up with the same breathing feeling again, I rubbed my neck and slowly standing up. I just woke up, so my vision was a little blury, And there it was! a figure of a man, but i cant see who that was because i was tired. I quickly rubbed my eyes but the figure was gone. I thought this was a very serious thing and i decided to tell mum. When i was about to open the door, i saw a hand, YES A HAND! it held me tightly. So tight that i cant even move, i was in fear…His hand was so cold but it also felt empty, it felt like cobwebs. I then swung the door open and ran downstairs as fast as i can. And i ran so fast that i tripped down the stairs and fell to sleep. When i woke up, i saw mum. She was next to me! And the only thing i remember is that i grabbed the knife from my drawer and stabbed that guy.But i wanted to see dad too. “Mum, where’s dad?” i asked. “Your father is in the ICU because he got stabbed, we believed that an intruder came inside and did that to him.
