Don't Click (Episode 3)

“Just go ahead and do whatever you like. Ignore it or click on it the

next time.” Said Samantha.

Penny nodded. Lunchtime had ended and Penny went back to her cabin to do work.

Later on, she returned home in the evening and was tired a lot. She

made some quick food, ate it and fell asleep. When Penny woke up, it

was around 11:40 pm. “Oh no, I fell asleep for a long period.” She

thought. “Let’s finish the leftover work and I’ll sleep again.”

She made some coffee and continued to work till 1 am. “Ok, I’m done.

Now let’s watch something on the computer.” She turned on her PC and

watched a movie. Until a pop-up appeared again.

“Ugh, I can’t even watch a movie peacefully.” She dismissed it and

unlike yesterday, this time it kept on appearing again and again.

It said, “CLICK ON THIS LINK, WE HAVE TO TELL YOU SOMETHING”.

Penny was frustrated and she remembered the entire conversation she

had with her colleagues during the day. “Ok, Let’s click on it.”

On clicking, a black screen appeared in front of her which was very

odd. A girl was sitting on the chair and staring at the screen. The

girl looked very familiar. It was herself. It was Penny. The odd thing

was that Penny didn’t have a camera attached to her PC. Penny had

gotten pissed off. What kind of scare is this?

Penny asked, “Hello, who are you and why do you look like me?”

The girl on the black screen asked the same question. Penny became

quiet until a voice rang out from the screen. “Look behind you.” It

was pitch dark and Penny said, “Nice way to scare me.” She didn’t pay

heed to the IDENTICAL Penny. “Hey, you must listen to me. You must.

Run away from here now.” Said the girl from the screen.

“Why should I listen to you?” Penny asked. The girl from the screen

started paling and said, “Because you must.” And said no more.

Penny kept on asking but with every second, the girl on the screen

became more and more pale. Little did Penny know that a hideous

creature of the night had crawled out from under her bed and was

slowly moving towards her.

It was crawling so slowly and had a bloody stench. Penny didn’t feel

anything yet as she was busy looking at the girl in the black screen

of her PC. The creature crawled under the table and looked at her. It

was looking right at her. In other words, it was waiting for the right

time to pounce upon her.

The girl on the screen started crying. And this time whispered,

“Please run. Save yourself.”

Suddenly Penny felt very warm. As if something was breathing upon her.

She could literally smell blood in the air now. She had gotten

goosebumps all over her body. She understood now, why the girl had

warned her.

She looked down and froze. She screamed then. Just screamed once

because she wasn’t allowed to scream anymore. The creature ended her

on the spot, leaving no sign of her body behind.

A few days later,, People came in search of Penny and found her PC

turned on. There was a strange trail of blood from the bed to the PC

table. But no one could tell Penny's whereabouts. The creature ate her

that night.

“Now how do I know this? Because I’m Penny, the girl on the black screen.”
