I happen to live quite peacefully out in the woods, there is no civilization in a 40-mile radius, and the only thing that fills my heart with sadness is that my family is gone. At about 2:00am I heard a noise, footsteps on the stairs, and then my door creaked open...
The girl that night felt unusual, she couldn't breathe, and worse than that, her arm started itching uncontrollably. She looked down and saw termites gnawing on her skin, then she finally realized the predicament she was in; she was surrounded by dirt and grass...

I felt my body turn cold, and I don't feel like myself. Then, I realized someone else had entered my body.
There is a knock on the door, and when you answer it you let out a horrified gasp. It's the tax collector, here for double the usual amount and grinning madly like the Cheshire Cat.
"I didn't mean to kill her, I swear", I thought to myself as the knife soaks into the blood puddle on the concrete. An ice cold hand places their palm over my mouth as I try to scream, but it's pointless as the muscular man tosses me into the back of a car and slams the trunk shut, everything slowly goes black and the voices stop.
As Gizmo the puppy was calmly falling asleep, he heard it. The Spirit Dog was watching him, but the Spirit Dog isn't spotted anywhere...
You're in your bedroom getting ready for bed when you see your friend, you walk up to her but she suddenly disappears. You walk back to the bed and your friend is standing there with gray skin, black eyes and whispering "help me, they've got me, and you're next".
