I know, I should have been concerned or suspicious about being in this apartment, but I wasn't worried about living in it.
The apartment had five rooms. Once I moved in, I went to lay down on the mattress on the floor without setting up the bed.
A sound woke me up coming from somewhere, but I didn't know where specifically. I looked around and didn't notice anything odd in the room I was in, thinking that it was nothing. I put my head back on the mattress. Before completely closing my eyes, I saw a dark thing moving above me. I quickly widen my eyes. It was some kind of a human sized contour drawing of a human's autonomy, but the interior of it totally pitch black. It was like staring into the abyss. It was so cultivating. The more i stared at it, the more it felt like it was coming towards me. my whole body suddenly felt very cold like I was put inside of a freezer. Looking at the drawing or painting, my mind was quickly drawn to the black color inside.
It as if I was... no, it was merging with me. My phone suddenly rang, I quickly snapped out the trans.
My mother wanted to know if I arrived at my new apartment safely. She was such a worrywart! I guess it was to be expected, now that I was by myself.
I began unpacking and arranging everything. It was a hustle doing all the things on my lonesome self. 30 minutes later, I was done setting up my bedroom: The bed was ready, my working desk was all set. Now what was left was the kitchen and the seating room, but I was already tired to do that. I decided to call it quits for the day because my belly was also rumbling. I prepared some instant noodles that I bought along the way and watched an anime on my laptop. After bench watching 4 episodes, my eyes were so heavy just to keep them opened. I decided to call it a night and right when I was just getting up out of the desk, I mindlessly glanced forward. Being shocked, I stumbled backwards and fell on my rump. I inspected the ceiling once more, but *it*wasn't there. I again fixed my eyes on what I saw in front of me. like before, my whole body froze and once again the cold feeling struck me.
It started emerging out of the wall. Bit by bit. Commencing from the fingers to the toes. Before I realized it, thus far, I could see nothing but pure darkness and the feeling of loneliness. I felt my tears streaming down on my face.I didn't know what was going on; all I wanted was for whatever this was to stop. I could hear some kind of static noise or a cry, maybe a roar? maybe my mind was beginning to mess with me. I really didn't comprehend the situation I was seeing, other than the abyss.
My eyes finally beamed with color for what felt like it was the rest of my life. The very first thing I saw was myself. What a relief...what a relief! What was I saying? I could see myself like I was looking into a mirror. The next thing I noticed was my desk and laptop but not in the same perspective. I could see the surface of both my laptop and desk not only that but the back too! When I observed my body again,it walked out of the room, through the seating and exited the apartment through the main door. Hearing the footsteps quietly fading away from my range.
