Behind You

You are in the house
It is abandoned
In the middle of nowhere 
You are all alone
With a battery flashlight

You walk into the living room
Blood all over the couch
You suspect someone died here
You press on with this exploration

You walk into a kitchen
Knives arranged in a circle 
Standing upwards 
Right beside you
4 knives hung 
Swinging like wind chimes
You are stumped now

You go upstairs into the bedroom
It is clean
No blood
No knives 
Nothing out of the ordinary
Looks like a normal bedroom

THE FLASHLIGHT TURNED OFF
“I’m right Behind You…”
