The Shadowy Figure

Little snowflakes were floating around as if they were dancing in the sky.  There was just 5 days left for us to enter new year. I was overfilled with joy and didn’t know what to do because these previous years were never on my side and I really wanted to get through this year with a fresh start and with happy memories. As I was trying to lift myself up in order to get up, I felt something really weird so I took a quick glimpse out the window. There was nothing wrong, obviously but I still didn’t feel quite safe. After killing time thinking about past stuff I finally bought myself to reality. I got up, started walking towards the unfinished Christmas tree that I had left there a while ago because of my laziness. And bent over to get some more tree ornaments to put it on, I put some more on then went straight to the kitchen. I felt a heavy sense of danger but still kept on going anyway, after I arrived at the kitchen I decided to make myself hot chocolate. When I finally finished making the hot chocolate, I grabbed it quickly with my cozy blanket on the other side of my arm. I went and sat on the old , puffy couch that I put just next to the tree and started drinking. I couldn’t help but to get lost in my thoughts and while I was doing that I unintentionally fell asleep. The ringing sound of the bell woke me up from my deep fantasies but I got up and opened the door to check what it was. It was the mailman, he quickly handed me a letter then rushed away. I closed the door whilst feeling the cold breeze of winter swiping across my face. I opened the letter to see what it was and I saw “as we were entering new years..just at that time..” all I saw was this text and I didn’t understand what it meant so I thought it was sent to the wrong person and tossed it away. The cozy days passed with me feeling unsafe all the time at my own house, it was finally the day , 31st of December.. I was just so happy and started counting minutes. But then I saw a shadowy figure behind me… As we were entering new years…just at that time…
