The red-faced

 I won't delay, I live with my parents. And somehow at that moment, they went to another city for the wedding of our relatives. And I was left at home alone, because I had a fever, I honestly didn't want to go there.

Well, I felt better tonight. I sat down at the computer. And I spent 2 hours on social media. The time was about 23.00, then the dog started barking, I thought maybe a friend had come to see me. I ran downstairs (we have a large 2-storey house). I came out and there was no one, I thought maybe someone had passed and our stupid dog started barking. I decided to run it home, it was about -38 outside. Although he was cold, he still wandered around the fence guarding our house.

Well, I started it, closed the door, felt sleepy, I went upstairs, the dog started barking again, I scolded him. I want to sleep and he's bothering me. I went into the room, turned off the light, the door to the room was open, I lay down on the bed, it seemed to me that I was dizzy. I opened my eyes and the door to the room slammed shut. I jumped up abruptly and ran to the light switch, my heart began to pound, my breath caught in my throat. I opened the door and went to the stairs. There was something vaguely resembling a human standing there, and suddenly it turned and I saw a red face, but in the darkness I couldn't see the features.

I ran into the room and it ran after me, suddenly I saw my dog running behind this something, I heard a knock and my dog knocked down this monster. I turned on the light and saw this face, it was all cracked, it was just indescribable! I was so scared, he just lay there and looked at me. I ran to the stairs and heard him talking to me. He said he was going to kill me. His voice was so grave, it seemed to me that it was the devil.

I ran downstairs, put on my sneakers on the move and ran out of the house to the road, it was incredibly scary and cold. I was looking back when I saw my friend's familiar house, and I calmed down. I woke her up and she gave me a jacket and some boots. I explained everything to her, she didn't believe me and dragged me to the house, even though I didn't want to go there, we went in: I stood on the threshold and flatly refused to go any further, and Katya went through the whole house and found nothing.

Of course, she said it was a dream, took the keys, locked the house and dragged her to spend the night with her. In the morning we went to my house. My parents have already arrived. I told them everything, Mom said it was the temperature, the glitches.

The dog was nowhere to be found, my parents said that she ran away when I opened the gate, but that's not true, she died for me.
