Fear. Everyone fears some thing or the other.  An experience or a moment where you either do or die, this feeling in the pit of your stomach that a storm is about to hit. A storm that is unknown.

Rick, a teenage boy who knows nothing about the wonders of life. A young man who has never feared the unknown never knew what was gonna hit him.  “Is anyone home?”, a voice came from outside of the door. Rick was alone at the house, his parents were out on a business trip for the night.

“Who is it?”, asked the teenage boy. “You have a parcel”, said the mysterious man. “Just leave it there”, Rick then with a confused look on his face opened the door and found a box with an empty note on it. It was packed nicely with a sweet yellow ribbon on top, figured that it was a mail, Rick carefully opened the box just to find a book inside. The book looked more like a journal with a “DON’T OPEN IT” text written in bold letters. Why would someone send a parcel when they clearly don’t want you to open it. So many questions ran through Rick’s mind. Was it the delivery man who wrote it? Or was it the sender?

He then finally opened the book and looked at the first page, “THE MAN FROM THE UNKNOWN” was written in red bold letters, turned to the second page. “The man has come from the unknown to find himself a friend. The man will peek at you, he will slowly then enter the home, he will look for you ,in the kitchen cabin, in your bedroom, and then your closet, your bathroom, under the dining, he will then find you”. ” The unknown man will have his new companion with him”.

 Scared by the creepy book Rick closed it and thought it was just someone playing prank. “Knock knock”, a voice came not actually a knocking sound but an impression of it. Rick with a feared expression looked at the window in his bedroom to find two creepy eyes with a glimmer of red looking at him. The man from the window then in a horrid voice spoke, “The man has indeed found himself a new friend”.
