It Watches (Horror Story)

Nowadays you can buy anything online from a pin to a submarine.There are lot of companies selling fishy products, most of them get sued but some of them get away. I heard about this fat loss pill company who got sued because the pills were making people fat. Imagine the heat you would get when your product is doing the exact opposite of what it's supposed to be doing. All the things you buy online can be returned, but there are few things you just can't get rid of that easily.

It started with me being fired from a sofa manufacturing company last summer. I was in a tough spot and like any other millennial I posted about me getting laid off on Instagram. All the responses I received were from my well-wishers and family Members but there was one response from my old friend from high school who I had not talked with in years. He asked me If I wanted to make some fast money installing home security cameras. And since there was a big craze among people about the new wireless security systems, I thought it won't be too much difficult a job to do. I mean I needed the cash anyways, so I said yes to the offer. Steve said he will have his guy call me in a short while.

Next day my phone rang. It was a guy named John, he said Steve has told him that I was ready to sell the new security systems. I acknowledged and he told me he will visit my home later that afternoon and take a little interview and If I passed he will get me going from tomorrow.

HE ARRIVED in the evening around 5 pm. He was driving a Mini van, we sat and talked. He asked me simple questions like, Do you have any experience in sales?, Do you have a car ? after all the questions he told me that I passed the interview and could start working from tomorrow. He went to his car and brought a few brown boxes which contained the wireless security cameras. He showed me how to install them. These cameras were really High tech and even a child could install them. I wondered why the company was even offering jobs to people as Installers. He left after a little while and I went back to my normal routine.

Next day I visited around 5 houses, four of them agreed to have the cameras Installed. I was happy, I made good money. I came home that evening and out of curiosity installed the cameras at my house as well, everything went normal.

I was woken by a telephone ring. I looked at the clock it was 3 am, I picked up my phone. It was one of my customers Ashly, She seemed really scared.

"Hello"

"He...hello you have to help me with these cameras"

"Call the helpline its 3 am I am just the installer"

"There is something in my house.....it...it...."

"Call 911......."

“The police won’t answer. It’s like my phone won’t work. Your number is the only one I can call.”

“What…what can I do?"

“Call 911 for me. Call Anybody. Please.”

“Where is the person in your home? How did they got in?”

And then she said something that sent shivers down my spine.

“It didn’t break in. It was already here. It was…It was watching me sleep…”

That was the last thing I heard from her, suddenly I heard screaming, like a roar.

The screaming turned into gurgles, then wet, horrible noises, then silence. After few seconds someone breathed heavily on the mic and then hung up.

I called the police, said they would investigate and call me back. After about 40 minutes I got a callback telling me that Ashley was Attacked by what they thought was a wild animal of some kind, Wild animal? but who hung up the phone then ?

I called john. the line was busy, I kept calling for about an hour. Then it dawned on me that ever since John has given me his number I have never actually called him.

I called the company customer care and what the lady on the phone told me scared me to death. She said that the company doesn't have any record of a man named John and that the company works with 'Do it yourself' philosophy, and all their products are designed in such a way that the customers could install them by themselves, and that the company was providing no jobs to any person as installer.

I Messaged my friend on instagram, he was not replying. His last post was about a month ago, I knew where he lived it was about an hour drive from my apartment, I got in my car and drove off toward his house.

It was pretty dark when I Got to his apartment. I knocked on his door, No Answer. I went to the office of the building supervisor. He said he had not seen my friend going in or out of the apartment since last week. He got the master key and we opened the door, as we opened the door a foul smell filled our noses. It was clear that something was not well in there. the supervisor called the cops, then we waited until the cops arrived.

The cops found a body shredded into pieces by what they called some sort of wild animal, and a complete setup of wireless home security cameras. They said the body was nearly 3 weeks old, that meant the messages I received were sent after his death.

This is me warning you that if someone tries to sell you wireless security cameras don't listen to smooth talking salesman, don't say yes.

I don't think I can prove anything but all I can say is that I am writing this from a computer at a public cyber cafe. I can't do it from home, actually there are a lot of things I can't do it at my home.

My phone stops working when I try to tell someone about all this, the internet connection on my computer behaves abnormally.

I don't stay at a friend's home or it will know.

I don't know what it is, but it keeps watching me when I sleep. I can feel its gaze moving all over my body, and if I tell anyone about it, IT will do the same things IT did to Ashly.

The only thing I'm sure of right now is that it is here, and it won't go away, it watches.
