Grin

Ever have that feeling? That feeling when your alone in your house or when you are going to sleep. That feeling that your being watched? Well, surprise! They're true! This may well be the last thing that you will ever hear, not because it kills you, but you sure as hell wish it did, but because it will take everything that made you who you are and what you are and leaves you a husk of a person lying cold and motionless on the ground with a single thud of a heartbeat every ten seconds.

This thing is often referred to as Grin. I know that you think that this is just some fabricated story but let me tell you my friend, that couldn't be further from the truth. It is often described as a clown or jester but really it's just a man. A man with something that everyone wants but nobody has; power. The power to take everything away. Why? Because it's bored.

However the only evidence that anybody has is a single photo taken on a teenage girl's phone using 'snapchat' moments before it took  her, needless to say that the photo is long gone now, the photo provided the first shred of evidence as to its appearance to date. The girl had taken a photo of herself in her pajamas moments before going to her bed to set as her story. The photo contained the girl in the foreground and darkness in the background. However when they found the girl, all lights in the room were switched on and the 'darkness' was what the police report dubbed 'an entity'.

The Grin had taken the girl moments after.

So how exactly does Grin 'get you'? Some say it has three key steps it must take. First it must learn about you, this means it stalks you for days or weeks or months; however long it takes before it knows how and when you are venerable. Secondly, it must consume you. The photo previously mentioned is taken at this stage, the stage where it changes your mood and makes you scared, paranoid and lonely...it makes you venerable. The third is when it allows you that you to see itself. Most of the time it chooses to show itself as a combination of all things that scare people: clowns, spiders, blood, needles and of course death.

One story has been fabricated about it, of how it takes someone. The account says that it starts as a cloud of darkness and then begins to form into a smiling face, pouring with blood before becoming a dark figure with a human face. A seemingly pale elderly face with loose skin, no hair on its head but with a messy grey beard that clung loosely to his chin, and  finally squinted eyes with red marks around them. It then begins  staring directly at you, emotionless and it's head then leans forward slightly with the body remaining motionless. The face then seems to begin to smirk, then smile, then laugh. It begins laughing in a deep laugh before slowly becoming a higher and higher  frequency  that makes every orifice in your head begin to peel away with a ringing in your ears and a clamp around your brain. If you close your eyes by this point you are dead simple as that, but if you keep staring back at him eventually you will see it's smile become so large that the muscles in its mouth begin to tear through the skin on its  face and his eyes grow so large that it's eyeballs begin to seep out of its sockets. If you manage to endure this sight then it will suddenly stop just as quickly as it started. It will then decide that you are worthy to survive and will disappear and will never return. However the damage to you has already been done and your brain will be barely intact you will be blind, deaf and paralyzed, unable to speak and tell anyone what happened, praying for death with barely enough blood left to circulate around your body. It's victims who survive sometimes regain to the ability to formulate simple words after many years. But nobody believes that 'a shadow did it'.
