So, this is a story about a creature I dreamt about. I called this creature NOT YOU. This creature appear whether it is morning, noon, or night. NOT YOU isn't bound by time. This one love to mimic a person who use black clothes, full black clothes. THEY run fast. THEY usually appear among a group of 5 or more people or friends, take a shape of black clothes person, and they run so fast until THEY dissapeared.
Initially THEY just appear and run when your black clothes friend is not in presence. But after a while, your friend gonna appear and you'll ask your friend "why are you running around?" But your friend doesn't understand what are you talking about, since THAT is not your friend after all. But after that, the incident getting more frequent. Whenever your friend is not present, THEY appear and randomly run straight to somewhere in front of you and dissapear. THEY usually take a diagonal angle when run where everyone can see the shape of the body clearly but not the face.
It become more and more out of ordinary when THEY took your second friend shape who also use black garments. THEY start running together from different direction. This is where you start the suspicion.
Everytime you saw THEM, you start running towards your friend, for example they are in the kitchen, and try to be calm and ask general question and you have a conclusion "oh, that is not you". Until at some point, THEY appear and you can't find your friend, your friend can't be discovered, you totally lost contact to your friend.
Since there is still a group of you, you start looking for solution. The most logical solution is if THEY appear, you gonna catch THEM and interrogate THEM. First time is not succeed. THEY feels like a bit foggy-ish, like a mist, when you touch their clothes you can feel the garment, it is totally physical, you can touch it but it gives smokes, black hazy smokes. THEY are fast, it is not easy to catch.
After some preparation you ready to immobilize THEM. One of you manage to grab THEY body, and get dragged for 5 meters because of their strength for run. That is your first time full contact with THEM after countless of plans and time to try to catch THEM. It is not a failure. It is a progress. After a few time, THEY appear, you ran with full power to catch it and grab it. You realize that it appear using different garment, oh this one mimicking your other friend, the second friend. IT scream a shrieking sound, you force yourself to get their front, and suddenly you let loose your hand, and you fell to the ground rolled almost 2 meters. You are shocked, you saw their face. That is not a face, that is a gruesome sight of a bunch of maggots squirming on the surface, only left a void spot on the mouth part to let their scream out.
You are trembling in fear, your friend is coming to help you. Few hour passed after you collect yourself and tell all the characteristic of the creature to your friends. Sometimes you can see from inside the house THEY still appear, running, and disappear. The differences now THEY let loose their scream. Every time they appear now you can hear their scream. They seem become more aggressive. You think it is a good thing, because you can pin point where they going to appear and cut their route so you can catch both of THEM in the same time.
After a great of preparation, each of you holding a rope, you make fences and traps, whether it to trip THEM, catch them, anything that can slow THEM. The scream echoing, you prepare for the visit. The first one came from your right, you can see it clearly run, but THAT route was too far from you, you let your friend handle that one. The second scream is coming you can distinct it from the first, the tail of your eyes recognize a movement, it going to run from your left. Quickly you run toward nearest trap that cut the route of THEM. You cut the rope that connect to the trap and erect the fences. THEY hit the fences, tripped and their movement getting sluggish.
Now you can see the shape of THEM they definitely take the appearance of your friend body, but not the face, their body emits black smokes. You start to pull all your weapon, knives, machetes, and other blunt weapon. You attack it mercilessly. You definitely can feel their body getting beaten but there is no blood coming even if you stab your knive or slash your machete on their body.
You feel satisfied after you beat THEM. You make sure once more time that THEY don't move even a millimeter. You keep your eyes on THEM for a while. Their body getting transparent, but the black smoke getting thicker. You tried to slash THEM but now you don't feel there is any physical body in that smoke anymore. The smoke getting thicker and higher. It reach 2 meters from the ground.
You still stunned with the occurrence gradually the mist making a shape of a scythe.
That is the last memory that you had.
