My eyes opened slowly, fixating on the rickety old window of the Molly's Motel.

I picked up my phone as it read: 3 AM  Tuesday, April 16th.

Propping myself up on my right elbow, I turned back towards the window that had the blue-white lights of the convenience store pouring through the cracks of the blinds. My hazy eyes adjusted on a small child standing in the middle of the empty road.

My heart began to pound heavily.

Quickly, thoughts based off of my errotic paranoia raced through my mind: "Why was this child out here this late?" "Where is their mother?" "Why won't they move...." I slipped on my coat and the nearest shoes I could find by rummaging in the dark and then sprinted outside and stopped in the parking lot when I noticed the child was staring at me.

I reached for my phone in my coat pocket to call the police and CPS, but it was gone. Worriedly I yelled out, "Hang on! I'm just going to get my phone. Stay put ok?"

When I retrieved my phone and returned outside, the child was gone. "Ugh, great... Where could they have gone?... Wait...now that I think about it, I couldn't even tell the gender of the child. That's odd...."
A loud crash came across the street from the convenience store and the lights soon flickered out.

I wandered over to check out what had happened but the doors were locked and the store was destroyed inside.

Extremely creeped out, I ran back to the motel. I decided it would be safest if I called the cops inside of my room rather than call them out in the middle of the street. But when I entered the small damp room, the child was standing there, staring at me intently.

I walked up to them and saw that it was a girl, but she didn't seem right.... She had stiff blonde hair and her eyes.... they had been hollowed out and she was left with a permanent stare. No matter what way you looked at her, she was staring at you. I touched her forehead and her skin was burning. "OW! What the heck..."

She was wearing a torn navy blue outfit that resembled a sailor and she stood in a hunched position. I backed away slowly and reached for my phone. The battery was dead. "Crap!!" I ran towards the lobby where I located the old 50's landline phone. I hurriedly called the police but the phone was broken. Of course. "Stupid piece of junk, work!"

I heard loud clunky footsteps down the hallway, my heart raced so fast I felt like I was going to throw up. But the footsteps stopped. Cautiously I walked over to where I heard the footsteps but there was no one there. I found a gun lying in an emergency box behind the counter in the lobby of the motel. I picked up the beautiful Olympia shotgun and prepared myself to face the demonic no-eyed child.

 When I stepped outside the child was standing there and whispered in an odd tongue that didn't sound English or any other that I've heard..." Ẃ̲͍̭h̩y͕͔̰̱̮̥͞ ̸͈̹do̷n̡͕͖̩͕'̙͉̱̝̖͜ţ ̘̯͚͚̼̲̝y̘͍͉̰͎o͟u͍̫̞͉̝̟ͅ ̨̭̝̘͇̱̘͔l̘͚̝̬͢o̺̱̻̥̱͈̯v̰̘͚̭̳̙e̷̱̭̜ͅ ͈̠̲m̰͈̲͕͍ę͓̬͎?̨̞͔͉̝͔̖??͈͇̹͉̬͓͠?̝͙͠!͖!͈̟͖̙̗̩!̫ͅ!̗̲̮̱̜͉͠!̖̩͡!͓̻̗̮̮̪̕" " Her voice screeched like nails on a chalkboard.

....

I woke up in a hospital bed. The low hum of the fan above me cancelled the silence. "Where am I.... Am I dead..? No, there can't be hospitals in heaven, right?" My sister and a male doctor of 62 years of age walked into the room. My sister ran to my side and sobbed "Thank god you're alright! I thought you were a gonner for sure!"

I screamed out in pain. I lifted up the blanket and saw I had stitches and bandges covering my torso. I looked up at the doctor confused. He laughed a little and said "You sure are a lucky one, young man. If it weren't for that riverbed you would have been dead! You should thank your sister, she was the one who called the paramedics."

My sister held my hand tightly and whispered, "Don't ever scare me like that again."

"Wha-...what happened to the girl?! The demon....that demon child who tried to kill me!!!"

My sister looked confused "I think you may,have a small concussion or you had some weird dream because you were in a car accident, not some run in with a demon...." Panicked, I screamed, "NO! I swear there was this girl who had no eyes.... and...and she looked like a sailor!!"

The doctor smiled a little, "You need some rest. I'm sure it was just a dream you had. You need your sleep so you can recover, we'll leave you be. There's a button on the side of your bed if you need me or a nurse." My sister kissed my forehead and followed the doctor out.

I leaned back and sighed. Maybe it was just a dream.... After all, demons don't exist.

I turned over on my side and turned on my phone. It read: 3 AM  Tuesday, April 16th.

"That's odd.....that was the same date and time from my dream..."

My heart stopped. I felt a warm breeze wave over my body. I looked up and saw the salene bag containing my blood sample had popped and spilled all over me. "Ugh gross!!!" I pressed the button on the side of my bed to call a nurse.

The door opened soon after and a nurse entered the room, pulling a cart that contained everything to clean up the mess like she knew what had happened. After she cleaned up the mess I said thank you, but she never looked up or said a word to me. I tapped her shoulder to make her turn around. She calmly turned towards me and lifted up her head, revealing she had no eyes.

She had a low giggle, and said sweetly,

"G͙͚o̤̻̻̤̼̞̕ͅo̲̫̯̗̲̹͖d͙͈͍̭͙͎̬b͕͓̭̻̦̕y̦̗̣͈̕e̙͉̗͚͢"
