August 2022 fiction contest: Horror game videos
August 4, 2022
He sat at his desk, as usual, in his dark bedroom. The only light came from his computer monitor, which displayed a spooky horror gameplay video. He laughed as it tried the stupid fourth wall tricks the content creator always used to scare the viewers. “Behind you,” it said. ‘Yeah, I’m not falling for that one.’ He thought. ‘I’m not gullible, that’s the oldest trick in the book.’
“Next to your dresser.” ‘well, that’s oddly specific.’
“By the Queen poster.” He frowned. ‘How did it know…’
“In the mirror on your door.”
He turned around.
He wished he hadn’t turned around.
