You know it’s 4am, right?
Abby
Yes. Maybe I’m a night owl.
Unknown
Or maybe ur scared.
Abby
Whoever this is, it’s not funny.
Unknown
I’m mean, I’m scared like you.
Abby
How do u know about that?
Unknown
Because I’ve seen him too.
Abby
How do you know I’ve seen him?
Unknown
Because I read your blog.
Unknown
I know. I tracked you down using the URL.
Abby
Are you a hacker or something?
Unknown
Not much to do at night when ur not sleeping :).
Abby
How do I know you’ve actually seen him?
Unknown
I can describe him.
Abby
U read my blog. U would already know what he looks like.
Abby
Tell me the only thing that can make him go away.
Unknown
U turn the light on.
Abby
And when u turn it off?
Unknown
He’s there again. Watching.
Abby
Ok. Maybe you’ve seen him.
Unknown
I see him every night.
Abby
A few hours between when the sun comes up and school starts. You?
Unknown
I wear a face mask and keep all the lights on.
Unknown
But lately I haven’t slept much.
Abby
Do you think there are others like us?
Unknown
Your the only other person I know of.
Abby
What does he want???
Unknown
Have you ever turned the lights off and pretended to be asleep.
Abby
I can hear him creeping toward me.
Abby
He gets close and I can feel his breath. It’s cold.
Abby
But then I freak out and turn on the light.
Unknown
What if he wants to tell us something?
Abby
What if he wants to kill us?
Unknown
I think we should work together.
Unknown
Maybe we can help each other.
Unknown
I’ve tried recording him with my laptop. I can see him on the live feed. But he never shows up on the recording.
Abby
How does that help us?
Unknown
I can hack into your laptop and watch you while you’re sleeping.
Abby
Who’s creepier you or him?
Unknown
Hear me out. I’ll watch him while you sleep and see what he does.
Unknown
You can plug your lamp into a remote that I can access from the web.
Unknown
If he does anything dangerous, I’ll turn on the lamp and he’ll disappear.
Unknown
U can do the same for me.
Unknown
Yes. I can walk u through it. That way we’ll be like each other’s guardian angels.
Unknown
We just have to sleep at different times.
Unknown
I am too. But maybe we can figure out what he wants.
Abby
Hey. What’s ur name?
Ted
Ted. Good to meet you Abby.
Ted
The lamp took a second to turn on.
Ted
His face was so close to yours.
Abby
I didn’t feel anything.
Abby
Maybe this is too dangerous.
Ted
It looked like maybe he was whispering something.
Ted
Do u remember anything?
Abby
No. I don’t think so.
Abby
I think I had a dream that I was cold.
Ted
Do remember any words? Something he said?
Ted
We have to find out what he wants.
Ted
I can’t go on like this.
Ted
I’m going to lose my apartment.
Abby
I’ve even stayed at friend’s houses.
Ted
I know. I know. That’s why we have to figure this out.
Ted
We’re in this together.
Ted
Did something happen??
Abby
He started moving toward you.
Abby
I panicked. I’m sorry.
Abby
What if you turn out the light and pretend to be asleep?
Abby
That way we can remember what he says.
Abby
Otherwise, this could be the rest of our lives.
Abby
Lie back down on the side closest to him.
Ted
What about the light?
Abby
I’ll turn it on again if he gets too close.
Abby
He moving toward you.
Ted
I can feel it. He’s cold.
Abby
Stay put. He’s leaning in.
Abby
He’s right near your face.
Ted
He’s not saying anything.
Ted
I’m turning on the light.
Abby
Like u said we can’t go on like this.
Abby
I remember what he said to me.
Abby
He said I only need one.
