-The Watch- A Short Horror Story by darkphoenix900 I don't know what happened. It just, came to me. It was so dark and, raining. It just, fit the mood. I bought an old house, Victorian Era. I don't know why. I saw it for low price in the NEWS Paper, I checked it out, I liked it, I sold my house. Here I am. It has no electricity at all. Repairmen refuse to come here and rig lights so I'll get a couple of people and, do it myself I guess. Today, I'm sleeping on the floor with old rags from the basement as covers. My things won't arrive till morning. I woke up the next morning, and it was still storming. At first I thought me buying the house was a dream. No it wasn't. I was still there sleeping in the rags. Except this time boxes were here. By the end of the day I had the couch and the kitchen set up. I then passed out on my bed. At night I dreamed of a man walking around the house with a silver watch. How, it gleamed in the sunlight that was streaming through the windows. I awoke the next morning and went to a coffee shop. Only to find my friend serving coffee. He then explained he was a volunteer helping out for a charity. We went back to the house and uncovered some things in the basement. Most of the things down there were junk, but some of it we put to use. I found a key under a crate. It was practically glued to the stone floor, but we managed to pry it loose. My friend said it was probably to the back door. It wasn't. The next night I dreamed of the same man and the same watch. He looked sick. He was lying in a bed in the attic coughing and wheezing. There was a big oak wood chest beside his bed. The next morning I just sat on the couch for hours. Doing nothing. Just sitting, thinking. I don't know what made me do this, I got the key and went into the attic. I rummaged through boxes looking for nothing in particular. I then found an oak wood chest. I put the key in and laying in the chest was a shiny silver watch. |
