911......

Hello this is 911 whats
Your emergency?. Hello
I need help I live at address
redacted ! I saw a man cutting

up a dead body he saw me
and started sprinting after me.
OK mam what did he look like
Spanish, black, Caucasian?

I don't know five nine erm
wrapped white mask no
expression like a manican
I couldn't get a description
I just ran.

Please help me he saw
me go inside, mine
hold on

OK mam we're is he now?
He's trying to kick the back
door In. I ran upstairs to hide
In the closest. Yes! I locked it
until omg hes just kicked it into
splinters.

Mam try Keeping calm did
you say he is armed ? He's
coming up the The stairs
I'm scared !

Mam, mam are you there ?....
OK we need police over there
right now
I can hear torn out screams
and a knife plunging like rapidly
stabbing a melon it sounds
messy.

Hello J.F.

This is creepy. Not really my cup of tea but I was drawn in by the title.
I think this deserves a better proofreading for a smoother flow.
Looking forward to reread after the edits.
Until then, thank you for sharing!
