So Scary 7- It Remains to be Seen
It remains to be seen. What have I done to see such a horrible creature in my dreams? Fear not, fellow ones... That this creature will not come down upon us, if we look away. For others who will fear it, it could tear their souls apart, and make sure that they are completely dead!
But the creature was still here. I could see it, lurking somewhere behind the shadows of my own house. But then it wasn't there. I must be having an illusion, despite having a couple of sherries. But when I came home from the bar, I've realized that the monster itself was very real. And there it was again, standing in front of me. With those thousand eyes... Yes, I have called it, "The Beast with the Thousand Eyes." All of them were staring at me.
But a known occult researcher have said it was that of Lord Agarnoth, a creature from another reality, or a dimension that I have not yet known. It may sound like science, but it wasn't. The creature have always come after me, wherever I go. And it wants me. It actually spoke!
To my horror, I ran away from it, and decided to leave the house for a while. That way, I can be safe from the dreadful thing that I keep seeing... But others have laughed at my bizarre story. One of them had said, "You must be going mad, Mr. Jefferson. Why don't you loosen up, and have another drink? Eh?" But I didn't have any other drink, whatsoever. They were just making fun of me. A man of high intelligence would surely not lose his reputation over some creature, which doesn't exist. But it does! I keep seeing it, even though I went sober. What must I do to stop it?
At that thought, I laughed at myself. There's nothing I could do. So, I went out into the night, wondering when that thing will go away. But it was still coming after me. It watches, and waits...
My wife left me a long time ago, when she found out that I was seeing things. She offered me a solution to see the doctor or even a psychiatrist. But I told her that I wasn't mad. Merely, I was just tired after long days of hard work. The fact remains clear that I was the only person in London to see this awful creature. Therefore, I must be mad. But I know that I'm not. And for that reason only, my dear wife have left me, alone.
To be sad without a woman to care for, it was one of the hardest things that I could ever face in my life. No children, and no company. Only the monster itself. The so-called Agarnoth...
And when I stopped at some river, I've noticed a couple kissing each other on a small boat. I didn't know what time it was, since I left my watch back at home. But when I saw them, they stopped kissing, and seemed to be scared of me. The woman cried out, and the man jumped off the boat. She was left behind, calling her lover several times. But whatever she saw, it clearly became known to me that it was the same creature, which kept following me. Damn that creature!
"Alright!" I said to it. "What do you want from me? You can speak. Yes? I heard you speak before." The creature wasn't there. And when I turned myself back, I saw the woman was gone.
It was a relief to know that the people can now see the creature. But the question is why it came after me? What did I do to see this awful thing in the first place? I wished it went back to wherever it came from. And those eyes everywhere... I could see them, opening and closing. And then something happened... The creature did something to me. I could feel the strongest force, tearing me apart. I have never felt this kind of pain before. I screamed!

"Mr. Jefferson?" The butler have been searching for him, ever since he disappeared. He searched his room, and then the rest of the house. He even called Mr. Jefferson's ex-wife on the phone. But as usual, a maid said that the woman had left on a business trip.
A search was pursued to look for the businessman. Then, someone cried out, "He's here! He's here!" The butler felt relieved at the sound of the good news. But something went wrong. The people who have volunteered to search for Mr. Jefferson, one of them said, "Dear God..."
When the butler arrived at the scene, he didn't know what to make of it. He saw his master, lying on the ground. And he was completely shocked.
His eye sockets were empty.
