The Hour of The Uninvited

The whole neighborhood was sleeping. Only the grandfather clock and air conditioner were making some mild noise. Time passes and...

3:00 AM.

The mild sound suddenly stopped. But soon this silence broke with the sound of someone walking on the wooden stairs. The sound came closer and closer and stopped just in front of my door.

I live alone in this house. Every night I wake up with this sound. I get curious if any intruder tries to enter my house and rob me. I leave the bed like a cat. With careful steps I reach the door. I don't turn on the light because I don't want the intruder to know I am awake. However, when I open the bedroom door, I found no one there! I thought that maybe I heard the walking sound in my dream and get back to sleep.

However, the event continues to happen everyday. So, I thought to check the CC TV footage on the corridor and the bedroom. When I checked the footage of corridor, I found out that the camera turned towards a different angle and it didn't cover the door front. This felt mysterious to me and tried to check on the footage of bedroom. What I saw made me scared!

When I opened the door to look in the corridor, I saw another myself standing near my bed and my eyes were shining like neon light!

My thought and current environment:

It's 8:15 PM when I started writing the story. It is raining heavily, power has been cut off, the window and balcony and front door is opened and I am alone in the dark room with phone flash as the only source of light. So, I am a bit nervous now and I can feel my heart is working faster... And when Gemini generated the image, I was afraid to look at it specially at the face of the 2nd me person.
