(Scared Narration)

I couldn’t stop staring. I knew it was him but it… it wasn't. It wore his face like a halloween mask, staring at me with empty hollow eyes. I could see his figure through the crowd of classmates as he stood there, burning a hole through my body. Nobody else seemed to notice him. They all just gazed up at the stage while it was fixed on me. Focused on me. Wanting something from me. I whispered, “Why are you here?” It did not move, did not turn away. It merely stood there, staring. I looked back to the stage, but I could still feel its eyes fixed only on me. The principal took to the stage, and explained that a student had died.
