never miss another strange story subscribe and hit the bell sit back and get comfortable I have a few stories to share with you I hate my hair it's so plain and boring mousy brown and poker straight the only thing it has going for it is its length which is midway down my back still it's impossible to put it in any other style than the one of Mitch sporting since I was 12 loose and parted in the middle plain hair framing a plain face which is why on a Friday evening I'm sitting cross-legged on my bed listening to Stevie Wonder records and idly running a brush through my hair instead of being on a date like my door mate Rachel who is blonde and busily sighing and tossing the brush aside I pulled on a cardigan and go out for a walk along the campus outdoors is dusky and tepid with a gentle breeze lifting the strands of hair are solos my head is down as I walk to avoid anyone I might know I'm just not in the mood for any interaction and that's when I bumped into him I can hear the thumps of books falling on the ground immediately I bent down to retrieve them apology is tumbling from my lips I'm so sorry I wow he's good looking really good looking unlike the boys have seen around here thick dark hair great bone structure so well dressed oh my god now I really feel bad it's okay don't worry about it it's fine his voice is smooth and deep with the faint accent I can't quite place I'm the one who thought I could carry all of these books we just want art I don't realize that I'm still holding on to the books until he reaches for them here let me I'm not sure when my boldness is coming from I don't socialize with boys all that much but despite him being the best looking guy I've ever seen my ability to talk is as easy as breathing where are you headed I can carry this for you if you like so you don't drop them again I said his smile is knee weakening I would like that very much I'm just heading to my car he said jerking his head in the direction of the parking lot on the way there he complimented my hair I responded by blushing and dropping my head so it falls in my face at the curtain telling him how much I hated it well I think it's just lovely and I believe him we reach his false wagon beetle still feeling bold as I watch him unlock his car I say I'm Sabrina by the way what's your name Theodore he opens the door and turns to look at me this time his smile is accompanied by an odd hardness in his eyes but you can call me Ted [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] good deeds really don't go unpunished huh I thought to myself staring at the symbols on my left hand all I did was help an elderly woman carry her baggage to her car it was just a random act of kindness I wasn't expecting anything in return I wasn't expecting her to tell me that I was going to die I wasn't expecting a timer to appear in my hand to keep track of it the old woman then said this before she left you should be thankful young man humans become complacent and laia falsely assuming that their lifespan will be long and healthy and knowing that their times can be much shorter than they think by revealing your untimely death I have given you the opportunity to avoid that past live your remaining life to the fullest live without regrets the timer was the only thing keeping my denial in check nobody else could see it but me it took a few days to accept this fountain but eventually I took action with 21 days left knowing my death gave me enough courage to confess to my crush in college I was unceremoniously rejected in hindsight I guess being rejected was the better option than being in a couple for just a few weeks with 13 days love have been volunteering to be a dog walker for the shelter's I've done this enough times that they get excited when they see me in the shelter if I had enough time I would have adopted one with five days left I've gotten pretty close with my younger sister this took awhile and she considered my change of attitude towards her very suspicious couldn't exactly tell her nor my parents that I was passing away soon with no proof to show eventually she opened up to me and made me realize how little I actually knew about my younger sibling and now here I am just a few minutes before midnight before my last day starts I've already went to the bank to make sure my sister inherits my accounts I've written a note for my parents to see explaining my situation and how much I love them everything was set as I was getting ready for bed my phone started to vibrate it was an emergency alert message from the government emergency the National Aeronautics and Space Administration has reported that a vestal level asteroid is heading towards Earth the asteroid is said to impact earth within 24 hours [Music] it was raining I think it was or maybe my face was soaked for my own unrelenting tears there were a few people present at my father's funeral he wasn't well liked but he always tried to please others I was just there for closure he made me miserable sighing heavily was the last clumps of dirt were packed atop his grave I lowered my head and touched the headstone laid him down to say goodbye again to voice how I will never forgive him for all the emotional abuse searing pulsating pain in the right side of my head that darkness I'm in a cramped place I can barely move what there's someone here I dig through my pocket to use my phone you see where I am it makes no sense I look around and scream I'm in the casket I taught my father then movements life goes on the fabric on the lid seems to glow my heart is studying in my head panic grips my entire body I move the fabric aside to see a screen I gently touch it as clicking in motorized sounds from all around me fill the small space I felt like falling off the edge of a mattress on the ground my father's body is gone the screen flickers as my father's face come into focus bye dear Ava my body has been shattered by this disease but I've been offered another chance but but it comes for the price blood for blood I made a deal with the devil you were destined to do many good things your spirit is pure the devil offered my life in exchange for yours my eyes fighting in terror you won't be dragged to hell no but you will live out a short remainder of your time in this casket as long as the oxygen lasts maybe that is a small comfort ice cream impounded fully knowing that he was pointless that bastard this can't be real the body was in mine but a fake made to be a placeholder so that suspicion do not arise you deciding to have a funeral with a closed casket did help to avoid any questions I saw I sleep then I remembered my phone I tried to call my fiance who went to wait in the car no signal I do feel badly Ava dear but this is the only way as a precaution a signal jammer has been consumed to the hardware of Tartakovsky and my vision blurred my chest felt tight slamming the screen with his vile face made his voice shudder and the device turned off darkness silently I cried knowing no one will find me despair I sobbed quietly as the air feels thicker my gas until the sweetness of oxygen becomes less and less and then later see [Music] stop whining my hissed you're going to do whatever it takes to repay Miss clover for the damage she caused it throw or kicked or battered a baseball through her front window pain obliterating framed photographs piano keys candlesticks and tiny crystal animals thousands of dollars of damage it was just his latest calamity I gave the doorbell another poke what will she make me do though wine James clean up the mess you caused for starters then I don't know maybe some weeding up back helping unload groceries polishing shoe leather whatever she needs help with finally was clover silhouette peered through the frosted glass of the front door paraded open cautiously craning her neck past the door jamb so sorry again miss clover I said poking James forward but James is here to make things right she held her head high literally looking down her nose on him is that right James he asked James looked at me you can answer yourself i prodded he gazed up at Miss clover yes ma'am she allowed him the hint of a smile cast the door wide I'll be back at 5:00 I called I'm not sure miss clover heard me over the slamming front door I arrived a bit late but I figured it might serve James well to prolong his torture a few minutes it took three or four rings for Miss clover to materialize but when she did she looked very pleased as he repaired his debt I joke oh she said there's still work to be done but James was very helpful mind if I take a look at the state of things I asked please she answered beckoning me into the party the place looked immaculate all the crystal creatures had been swept up pictures frame candlesticks replaced two of the piano keys I noticed were still cracked and broken these were ivory burn day I asked alas yes his flora answer I can grind up a good replacement we've still got an old molding it won't be quite the same as ivory no shame they nodded frowning in solidarity is it alright if I take James home then for today at least oh yes she said brightly I think he's given everything he can you may want to wait a spell though he is still icing his gums I halted mid Stefan is what daddy I heard James called a noticeable lisp in his voice he bolted into the parlor his face puffy and red he wrapped his arms tight around me what what did you do to him miss clover followed her around I took what was owed she said it was then that I noticed the bronze plated plate beside the piano bench the heavy iron pliers inside and they're in a cluster at the bottom of the bucket twenty pearly white milk teeth some still pink with blood [Music] I sipped my white wine and waited for the next speed-date these short sweet and simple interactions were just what I needed after finally getting rid of my god awful nightmare of a husband once and for all there were plenty of better fish in that wait here swims one now he was kind of short and certainly older than my 36 years young but his stride was confident and his smile easy Reba he asked Henry I replied shaking his offered hand he sat down so what do you do I sell life insurance by recited slightly disappointed by his generic opener you I'm a psychic oh I parked out that's different reading people's lives and futures it certainly is I see and are you reading me right now is he being honest or just flirting I wandered he smiled mysteriously if you like he put his hands palm up on the table they were surprisingly weathered and scar this was moving quite fast but I guess it was speed dating after all I took his hand he closed his eyes you drive a red car the company starts with a G you have to know three siblings you're 36 he opened his eyes I removed my hands well I leaned back sipped my life and considered my words that's very good Henry and quite correct however I don't really know you that sort of information can be easily reached these days so you'll forgive me if I'm a bit skeptical you smirk I'm glad you said uh he said softly I glanced in the wall clock oh why this time he didn't take my hands and kept his eyes open when you were six you caught a spider released it into your friend's bedroom as a prank but fortunately the spider was poisonous your friend was bitten and he almost died you kept this a secret but he still doesn't know you did it I stared at him in shock his memories came flooding back I had never told anyone that story before I could reply he continued also you're still married but separated from your husband my whole body tensed this wasn't fun anymore well he was an abusive [ __ ] but you already knew that right I said is that why you asked her sister to hire someone to kill him cold fear immediately gripped my stomach I could barely breathe how did you because mislead off he said leaning forward I am the man she hired his face twisted into a smuggler what do you want well do you remember the handsome fee you paid for my services after meeting your husband a fascinating man with many amusing stories he offered me doubled that amount to kill you so what I want to know is do you have an even better counteroffer for me panic tore through me please sir I don't [Music] what are you afraid of what shows you to your very core we all have one thing is it dark a blackness so pure then you can see your hand in front of your face could you last being lost in the woods hiding from both the known and unknown wondering if you'll ever make it home are you afraid of ghosts does the idea of demons and spirits making nervous or maybe it's just people killers sick twisted Psychopaths that want to make you scream not sure we will figure it out for you what are you waiting for click here this was the advertisement Monday night on my Instagram feed my closest friends and girlfriend clicked and filled out a short quiz that followed I wasn't really interested I was never too big on those online quizzes when my friend Chris the arrogant son of a [ __ ] she was filled it out he told me it was [ __ ] he never admitted to being afraid of anything after he completed the quiz he received an email simply saying thank you your results are pending nothing ever came Sam my girlfriend also filled out a quiz she's obsessed with online quizzes even the stupid ones look what kind of squirrel are you she received the same email it was pretty bummed out when she was left hanging my best buddy Joe took the quiz since he loved all things horror he had the biggest collection of horror movies that I've ever seen the same email this all happened Monday it's Friday now two days later a video spread all over social media foreign crisps pissing himself while passed out drunk and a party he hung himself that night in his garage with an extension cord Sam's mom had a psychotic break and has been tied to her bed post since Wednesday they called a priest and he has been with her ever since her family doesn't want to go public but they believe she's been possessed what must be Joe was found in his bedroom at least what was left of him pieces of flesh were stern all about his room blood stained all over the wall his head was removed and a grisly cut was made straight down the center cops found a chainsaw covered in blood at the end of a trail of footprints leading from his bedroom through the house out into the backyard I didn't take the quiz when David but the next night I couldn't sleep I took the quiz my results the bar was closed and Morris hadn't had a bite all night maybe he was getting picky or maybe the city was just running dry for an old Fox like him all the pretty and dumb girls hunted to extinction no there were always others he pulled out his phone perhaps to prove it to himself there were more bars after all secret places that stayed open all night he just needed a ride the first and only ride offered made his heart go pitter-patter Amanda he said out loud chewing each syllable like a last meal no stars no history a little lamb all alone on a Tuesday night she was there in two minutes driving a little green Japanese thing and waving through a tinted window Maurice helped himself diving into the passenger seat lovely night isn't it Amanda the girl found her eyes dancing over so slightly in her skull I think you're supposed to be in the backseat no no I get sick in the back she was small and maybe a little plump for his taste but the face was good the face was just his type okay she said she would be there in five minutes that your time said Morris the car was cramped but it would do spacious enough for what he needed first night the girl considered the question just new to this out oh of course said Morris with a lot what color are your eyes commanded the quiet is striking the girl flinch unconsciously turning her head away you think so I do send Morse and I meet a lot of girls but hardly with any eyes looked at but some now more is flinched more out of surprise than anything 1 or 2 the girl nodded my sister has eyes just like me I wouldn't mind meeting her then I bet she's just as pretty as Marsh looked out the window he hadn't been paying attention to the road only Amanda I think you're going the wrong way they pulled to a stop I'm tired of an abandoned warehouse you've already met my sister sent a girl killing the engine I don't think you've met the rest of my family though five men came out of the warehouse followed by two women the man carried baseball bats and big heavy wrenches the women looked just like Amanda an older version and a slightly younger version both those same striking eyes it wasn't sure which op used so I sunned up for all of them said the girl you know I could have killed her said morphs voice raising as the panic slowly crept him I didn't know the man reached the car yanking open the passenger side door don't worry said the girl as they dragged the screaming Morris out onto the pavement we won't make that same mistake [Applause] you [Music]
