It was supposed to be a normal day, like all other days, but I never thought that it would turn out to be the worst day of my life. I don’t want to reveal my name because after reading the story, I don’t want people to start searching me on Facebook. So let’s just not focus on my name.
Like every other day, after taking class and spending some time with friends in university, which would usually be sitting and gossiping, but this time we actually had a deep conversation about life and death.
After returning home I was too tired so I decided to take a shower and then sleep, but still had those serious thoughts resonating around my mind. My mom and dad were not at home as they were attending a wedding, I normally don’t attend gatherings so I decided to ditch out but that’s what I regret now.
I still remember that it was one of those days when Karachi is struck with the coldest weather. The time was 9:40 pm, I left the tap on for the water to warm and started preparing for the bath and entered bathroom by the time it was warm enough. As I started applying soap on my body, the lights went off. Usually we don’t face electricity issues, so I got a little confused; without thinking further I went outside the bathroom to switch on the torch. As I approached my bed all naked, I suddenly heard footsteps coming towards me and quickly turned around to see who it was but to my surprise I found no one.
I quickly went back inside the bathroom and decided to just take a shower but suddenly felt someone standing right next to me. Although I couldn’t see the person but what I felt was REAL, I tried to ignore the feeling; this is when I heard someone whispering my name, I shouted to the core of my heart and started crying for a while nothing happened. I hurriedly got dressed and while approaching the door, someone touched my hand and pulled me. I still have those marks of someone grabbing my hand. I can still feel those hands, they were rough, strong and hard. It was a man’s hand, I can guarantee that. I felt so helpless at that time, all I was thinking was that this is going to be the last day of my life and whoever it is, will kill me. I rushed towards the bathroom door and went near my bed, that’s when the lights came back.
I sat on my bed and took the blanket all over me, shivering and scared to death. I knew that whoever it was, was still there somewhere in my room or in my bathroom, I could feel someone breathing.
And while I’m writing down this story, I can still feel someone sitting next to me and watching me write it. I couldn’t sleep that whole night as I was scared to death. After that, I never showered in my room alone and haven’t shared this story with my parents too as I know they won’t believe me. Its been a whole year but feels like it happened yesterday and since that day I can feel him around me; whether its university, home, or when I am with my friends – He is always there with me. I see him in my dreams and sometimes I see a giant shadow lurking around my room. He is a demon and I am really scared of him.
Please I request you all to kindly help me out. Whenever I woke up I see scars on my body, scars of nails all over my body. I can’t share my story with anyone, no one will believe me. I want this to end, I’m dying every single day. He scares me, he hurts me, he doesn’t want me to get married. I know he sleeps with me every single night. I can sometimes feel him all over my body, touching me, using me and doing whatever he can to satisfy his need. I’m helpless and scared, he will kill me. What should I do?
Sincerely,
The lonely, scared soul.
