"Your Eyes Can Play Tricks" by Michael H
It was a cold, snowy winter day. A 17 year old girl named Rose. Rose parents had to go on a business trip, so they left her home alone. After saying their goodbyes Rose went to the couch, got a blanket, and watched a movie. The Television was next to a see through sliding door which led outside. While watching her movie, Rose noticed something getting closer to the window. As she focused, a figure appeared at the window. At first she thought he was lost, until the man slowly pulled out a knife. Immediately Rose started panicking and she froze with fear. The man was staring at her while pointing a knife towards. Rose then pulled the blanket she had over her head. She took out her phone and started dialing 911. All Rose could do was wait in fear. After a couple minutes of waiting, Rose heard a knock at the door and immediately she got up and sprinted to the door. The police came in and Rose explained the story to them. The police then inspected outside where the man was standing to look for footprints. There weren't any. While the police were outside inspecting, Rose was inside waiting to hear the news the police gathered. All of a sudden there was a scream and the police rushed inside the house to see what was wrong. All they saw was Rose on the ground with a huge wound in her stomach, and a man with a knife standing over the body. This man was wickedly smiling and staring maniacally in the police eyes. The man had just killed Rose. In the end, Rose wasn't seeing a man through the window, she was seeing a reflection of this crazed murder. He was inside the house the whole time, waiting to strike. Your eyes can play tricks on you.

What a chilling story! I really want to know what happens next. Keep up the good work!
Great Story. Good use of diction and imagery. I could really picture the scene playing out through my head. Great twist at the end with a significant message.

This story was really good and suspenseful. At first I thought the police would think she was crazy and was just imagining something was there outside. It was a good turn in the story,good job. I hope to read more from you.
Oh my gosh! That story freaked me out so much yet it was so good! I never would have guessed the guy was actually in the house and yes our eyes can deceive us and you pointed out a great way of telling us all.

Wow! While reading the story I thought that it was going to have a happy ending. But then when I read that final line, I was really surprised and I felt kinda dumb for thinking it was going to have a happy ending. You did a really good job, you totally tricked me.
Great Job!

This story got me really interested. I liked how you made the plot sort of twist by showing that the murderer was in the house the entire time and not outside. I really enjoyed your story, keep up the good work!

I love the creepy tone that you gave to this story and the situational irony at the end. The story has a great plot and a nice short syntax, just like the short life and death of Rose.

it was really well written and it also had good detail and I just hated how she died un the end.
I really did enjoy this story. It wasn't the typical mysterious horror story that commonly ends with dead. It was written very well and I loved it :) thank you for sharing!

wow, I definitely was not expecting that ending. I had really thought that the murderer was outside, and it's crazy how things work out. I like how you used a suspenseful build up to reach the ending of your story. The thoughts that ran through my mind were "will she die?" "will the police die?" "is the murderer a psycho ex boyfriend?"; your story kept me thinking and wanting to read more. goodjob!
It was an interesting plot for sure. I would recommend making the audience think and leave them guessing as to what went on in that house. More descriptions and less plot summary would make this piece even more mysterious.
Nice Job! Your piece gave me the chills while I was reading it. I really liked the plot twist at the end of the story and really enjoyed reading it.

This piece was really well written! I liked how it wasn't to long it was short and the story didn't drag. I like how at the end you said that your eyes can like trick you! Because it's true! Keep writing!
This story is quite mysterious. I was kept in suspense the entire time, and was shocked by the outcome and the realization of the man’s whereabouts. It was interesting how it ended, and the irony, because nobody would have expected the man to actually be inside the house. I can relate this to me because as a child I always had a fear of looking out the window, especially at night.
-nate shepard p.1
okay.. This was quite unexpected. I like how you restated the title at the end that was kind of the ah-ha momment. It tied t he story in allowing the readers to identify what they had just read.
Bruh!! This lowkey got me scared to stay home by myself now and look out a window. This was a great story and I liked the way in which you used great detail and connected it back to your title. Good job!!
This story isnt original, you got it from a previoisly told story when u look into "freaky mysteries" and many other places amongst the internet,cmon man.
