Title: The Dancing Man
By: StoryLord
I am 15 years old and live right down the street from 7-Eleven; it's about 2 minutes away, and it's 9:00 pm. I am lying on the couch, watching TV, when suddenly I start craving snacks. I get up to check the pantry, only to find it empty except for 2 bags of Cheetos, which I don't like. I head to my room to check my wallet and find that I have about 10 dollars. Knowing I can buy plenty with that amount, I decide to put on my shoes and walk to the store. "Mom, I'll be back. I'm going to the store!" I yell out.
I slide on my Crocs and grab the keys, locking the door on the way out. Since I live in an apartment complex on the top floor, I walk down the stairs and exit through the gate. It's quiet at this time, and the chilly air prompts me to grab my headphones and plug them into my phone to listen to music on my way.
Finally, I arrive at 7-Eleven. The store is empty, with only 2 cars parked outside. I walk in and am welcomed by the doorbell. I head to the snack aisle and pick up 2 bags of Takis and 3 packages of Reese's.
There's already a man at the front, so I wait behind him as he pays for his beer and a pack of cigarettes. He appears to be in his 40s. "That'll be $4.99," the cashier says to the man.
After he pays, it's finally my turn. I place everything on the counter, the cashier scans them, and says, "That'll be $8.20." I give him the money, and he puts the items in a bag. "Be careful. Have a safe trip," the cashier says.
"Thank you, goodbye."
As I walk on the sidewalk, there are no cars, and it's chilly. I feel eerie as I see a man in the distance walking towards me. I can't make him out clearly, and when he stops and doesn't move, I stop too.
Looking around, I see no one else—no cars, no people—just that one man in the distance, standing there. Something feels off, not right.
After what feels like forever, I take a step back, and he starts dancing. His dancing is odd; I've never seen anyone dance like that before. He looks like he's wearing a dirty red suit with a top hat and holding a walking stick. I can't see anything else but his clothing style as he dances as if it's some sort of show.
As he dances, he moves forward toward me, and my heart sinks. I can hear my heart beating loudly in my ears as he dances closer with a sinister, creepy smile. I feel trapped, as if my bones have locked up. He gets even closer, and I can make out his face—his baggy eyes, wrinkly and dirty face, and that sinister smile.
I take off running, looking back as he chases after me. He's gaining on me, so I head towards the 7-Eleven store. I run so fast that I make it to the parking lot and burst through the door. I fall to the floor, out of breath, grabbing my chest. The cashier looks concerned. "Are you okay?"
