short story

I was closing down my shop, but when I turned off the lights, a human figure appeared. I tuned them back on, and the figure was gone, I went back and forth with the lights, until I realized that somebody is there. I’ve never been afraid of the dark, but this was pretty unusual. I decided to call my friend to come over, but when I pulled out my device, a message from a blocked number said, “Watch your back”. I reluctantly ignored the text and called my friend. Instead of ringing, it went straight to voicemail. I turned around to grab my keys, when a face popped out of nowhere. She had no pupils, ghost white face, and blood dripping down.

I screamed at the top of my lungs, until she somehow closed my mouth. She then sucked the life out of me, and put her spirit into my body. She wanted to have a body. All I saw was blackness, until I was awoken with the aroma of coffee and eggs sizzling on the stove.
