One night, a girl named Kira was lying on her bed, scrolling through her phone. It was already past midnight. After a few minutes, she started feeling sleepy, so she put her phone aside and pulled the blanket up to her head. Soon, she fell asleep peacefully.
A few hours later, Kira suddenly woke up feeling thirsty. She got out of bed and walked to the kitchen to drink some water. The night was unnaturally quiet—everything was completely silent. After drinking water, she returned to her room.
As she was about to lie down, she noticed something near her window. A strange black figure stood there, but it was unclear and blurry. Thinking it was just her imagination, she ignored it and lay back on her bed. Before closing her eyes, she checked the time. It was 3:00 a.m.
She soon fell asleep again.
After a few hours, Kira woke up once more. She assumed it was early morning, maybe around 7:00 a.m., but when she checked the time, she froze. It was still 3:00 a.m. Shocked, she thought she might be dreaming and went back to sleep.
Again, after what felt like several hours, she woke up—and once again, the time showed 3:00 a.m. She wondered if her clock had stopped working, but when she checked her phone, it showed the same time.
She couldn't believe her eyes.
Suddenly, a few drops of liquid fell onto her face. She wiped it with her fingers and looked at them. It wasn't water.
It was blood.
Her eyes widened in horror. Slowly, she looked up at the ceiling and saw a creature hanging upside down, stuck to the wall. Terrified, Kira jumped out of bed and ran toward the door, but the creature leaped down and blocked her path.
Panicking, Kira ran toward her balcony and cried for help. But the surroundings were eerily silent. There was no one—only thick fog and flickering streetlights.
She turned back toward the creature.
It was slowly approaching her. As the streetlight rays fell on it, its appearance became clearer. Its body was covered in blood, flesh hanging loosely from its form. Its eyes were hollow and black, and its mouth was filled with long, terrifying teeth.
Trembling, Kira grabbed a stick nearby to protect herself. As the creature lunged at her, she stabbed the stick into its mouth, piercing straight through. Instead of stopping it, this only made the creature angrier. It snapped the stick in half and then tore Kira into pieces.
Suddenly, Kira woke up, panting heavily and drenched in sweat.
It was all just a dream.
She looked at the clock beside her bed. It was 3:00 a.m. Relieved, she took a deep breath, telling herself it was over.
Then, a drop fell onto her face.
She wiped it slowly and stared at her fingers.
Blood.
Her body went cold as she slowly looked up—
And screamed.
