由 olawoyeblessing001“The Tiny Version of Me” My name is Amara. You people won’t believe what happened to me. Even me, I still don’t understand it till today. I grew up in a small village where everybody knows everybody. If you even cough inside your house, the whole street will hear it. Nothing strange ever happened there. At least that’s what I believed. Until that morning. --- I woke up feeling like something was watching me. The sun had not fully come out yet. My room was still dark and quiet. I stretched my hand to pick my phone… But I felt something soft on my shoulder. I froze. At first, I thought maybe it was a lizard. Slowly, I turned my head. And my body went cold. There was a tiny girl sitting on my shoulder. She looked exactly like me. Same face. Same hair. Even the same little scar on my chin. I screamed. I fell off the bed instantly. But when I looked back… She was still there. Now smiling. “Relax,” she said softly. My heart nearly left my body. I stood up fast and backed away. “What are you?!” I shouted. But she didn’t answer. Instead, she pointed behind me. “Don’t turn yet,” she said. But I already turned. --- And that was when I saw them. One… two… three… No. Five of them. All sitting on my bed like it was their house. All looking exactly like me. One was swinging her legs like a child. Another one was just staring at the wall like she was lost. But one… one was crying quietly. I couldn’t even scream anymore. My voice disappeared. The one crying looked up at me and whispered: “They’re looking for you.” Before I could ask who “they” were… A loud knock hit my window. KNOCK. KNOCK. I turned slowly. My window was closed. My room was on the second floor. Nobody could reach it. Another knock came. Harder this time. KNOCK! The tiny versions of me all became silent at once. Even the playful one stopped swinging her legs. The smiling one on my shoulder leaned closer to my ear and whispered: “If they find you… we disappear.” My whole body went numb. Then I heard something outside the window. A voice. Low… rough… and slow. “Amara…” My name. The crying one suddenly covered her face. The others started backing away into the corners of my room like smoke fading. I ran to the door immediately, trying to open it. Locked. But I never locked it. Another knock came from the window—so strong the glass shook. CRACK. A small line appeared on the glass. And that’s when the smiling tiny me said something I will never forget: “You should have stayed asleep.” The glass broke. And everything went white. --- I don’t know how long I was out. But when I woke up… My room was empty. No tiny girls. No broken glass. Nothing. I almost laughed in relief. Maybe it was a dream. Maybe my mind was playing with me. I stood up— And saw tiny footprints leading from my bed… straight into my wardrobe. And from inside the wardrobe… I heard my own voice whisper: “Don’t open it…” --- END (for now) --- If you want, I can: Continue this into **Chapter 2 (even darker 👀)** Turn it into a **YouTube AI video script with scenes + camera directions** Or add **plot twist explanation (what they really are)**
