"Something Wasn't Right"

Looked Wrong” I was alone at home that night. Very late. Very quiet.

I heard footsteps behind me. I thought it was my sister. I turned around.

She was standing in the hallway. At first, she looked normal. Same clothes.

Same face. But something felt wrong. She was smiling. She never smiles

like that. Her eyes didn’t blink. Not even once. I said her name.

She didn’t answer. She took one step forward. Her neck moved a little…

too much. I felt cold. I looked at her hands. Her fingers were

long. Longer than I remembered. I told myself I was scared for no reason.
