The Faceless Figure

At exactly 3:17 AM, something appeared in the corner of my room.

I woke up for no reason, that sudden jolt you get when your body knows something

is wrong. The darkness felt heavier than usual. I grabbed my phone for light and saw

it. A figure. Completely still. Not breathing. Not swaying.

Just standing there in absolute silence. I froze. My heart hammered so hard I could

hear it in my ears. I told myself it was my coat on the hook, my mind playing

tricks. But then I noticed something that made my blood run cold. It had no face,

just a smooth surface where features should be. I couldn't look away.
