THE HOUSE
Haunting
12:54 in the afternoon, 25thday of July.
The clock is ticking and the world is slowly spinning but you’re still on your bed, motionless and helpless. It was the mid of the day and people are busy eating their lunch or doing something productive and maybe taking a shower to avoid summer’s crucial crunch.
And what were you doing again? Nothing.Definitely, nothing.

In fact, every room is equipped with camera. Thank God that your brother left out the bathroom or else he’ll be really invading the last reason why you need your privacy.
“Good morning! Or should I say, good afternoon my baby girl!” You heard him speak through the speakers surrounding the entire house.
“Is the food good? It’s all your favorite.”
“Stop speaking to me with your auto machine. Don’t you think I won’t notice? You talk to me like that every day. Show me y
