One dark, cloudy, and frightful night, I was suddenly awakened by a dazzling light. Still not completely shaken out of my slumber, I saw from the window of my room. This did not look like a usual night, and a few minutes later, a thunderstorm began, and raindrops started to fall on the roof. The rain was usual, but not the thunderstorm, as it was an area where storms are very unusual. As the minute and hour hand on the clock struck midnight, it made a soothing chime, and it was relaxing, but not for long.
I noticed that there was a scratching sound at the door. At first, I thought it might be an open-eyed dream, but when it happened a couple of times, I knew it was not something I was imagining. I thought it would be a wild animal or something, so I ignored it. But suddenly, the scratching sound was so loud that I started getting anxious, wondering what kind of creature it could be. I knew I had to be confident if I wanted to protect myself, so I prayed to God, asking Him for courage and protection. I even took the gun I had in my locker and slowly moved towards the door, making little to no noise. As I opened the door, I was astonished to see huge scratches on it, but no one was outside.
As I was thinking about what it could be, I noticed that in one of the scratches, there was a letter. I was confused, thinking, what kind of creature scratches a door just to leave a letter? But I took it with me and saw on the clock that it was 12:30 AM. I thought it wasn’t the right time to read the letter, so I went to sleep. But the thought of that letter kept me awake, so I decided to open and read it.
As soon as I opened the letter, I saw something really strange. The letter had some symbols, which were similar to the symbols on the object I found during my last excavation in Egypt. I brought it back home just to investigate more about it. I also remembered that when I found this object, which was a stone tablet, I met a guy who was a specialist in it. He told me that there is a story about the 12 curses of the Egyptian pharaoh, and a similar tablet led to the end of the Egyptian empire. At that time, I didn’t believe in it and took it home, even though he told me not to. I even saw some letters, which were apparently in English, saying “We want it back.”
I thought somebody was pulling a prank on me, but soon I felt something strange in my house. I saw a few scorpions, which was really strange because scorpions are not found in my area. Now things were getting a little scary. I went back to see the stone tablet I found, which I had kept safely in my locker. As soon as I opened it, the stone tablet was shining. I did not expect that. And before I could do anything, I saw that my whole room was filled with scorpions. I ran towards the door, out of my house, and saw a huge, mystical creature standing right in front of my house. His face was covered, and he had a tail like a scorpion’s with eight arms. It was a strange creature. I didn’t know what to do, so I just threw the shining tablet towards him, and a bright light emerged all over the place.
I was blinded by the light, unable to see anything. When my eyes opened, I heard my wife saying, “Honey, wake up. It’s freaking 9 AM. You’re getting late for your job.” And I was thinking, was that really a dream?
THE END.
