  I was taking a whole bunch of selfies for my boyfriend. His phone had broken a couple of days ago and so he got a new phone. Since he no longer had any pictures of me on his phone, he had asked me to take a whole bunch of pictures so he could always look at them if he missed me. I thought it was so sweet.
  In most of my pictures I was smiling and just trying to look pretty, but I also took a couple of silly pictures as well. I decided it would be funny if I would  cross my eyes and stick out my tongue.
  I jumped when I saw a dark figure as I crossed my eyes. Once I uncrossed my eyes, the figure was gone. I figured that it was just my eyes playing tricks on me since my eyes were crossed. It was still weird though, the figure looked so human-like.
   Out of curiosity, I crossed my eyes again. I saw the figure again. It stood there for a second, and then came running at me putting its hand on my face. I knew this wasn't just an illusion. I could feel it's cold hand cover my face. I tried screaming and yelling, desperately trying to release myself from its grasp but it we just too strong.
  Once it finally released its dark, cold hands from my terrified face, I realized what it had done. I tried my hardest to uncross my eyes, but nothing worked. My vision was so blurry. The only clear image I could see was the figure.
