(Warnings: general horror)

It's just a game. I know that but I'm not so sure it makes as much sense as it used to. I wish I could pretend that simple phrase still brought me so much comfort.

I started playing these horror games a long time ago. I will admit that I'm pretty easily scared but it looked like fun. I didn’t see any harm in it. I was wrong in so many ways though. I understand that now. I know you won't listen to me. Not many people take me very seriously anyway. I am being serious though.

Don't play those horror games too much. When I started playing them it was no big deal. I would get a little scared but at the end of the day I could just turn off the monitor. In that simple movement all of my fears would go away. Every last monster or nightmarish world would disappear into reality. It was that easy.

I didn't start to notice a difference in things until recently. I would sit down and start to record but something was just...different. I would record like I normally do but it didn’t feel the same. I started to have trouble with my audio. I wouldn’t hear anything over my headphones but every now and again I would catch a strange noises or voice when I knew I was home alone. Sometimes the games would randomly crash too. It would either go black or static for a moment before just killing out. I would try to post the videos but nothing every showed up on the recording. You probably think I'm crazy now. I don't even believe myself sometimes. But I've seen it.

Everything was fine before I started playing those games. My life was ordinary, even boring at times but that changed. I swear that they watch me. I can feel them. I can feel their eyes on me in the darkness. I can imagine them just staring at me, waiting. Eager to recreate the events in the game or just torture me with their presence.

Recently I’ve started to see things that are only in the games. I've seen that pale white face watching me from the trees. That all too tall frame sinking back into the darkness without ever seeming to move. I've heard the soft voices and whispers when I start to fall to sleep. I’ve seen the shadows moving out of the corner of my vision. Believe me or not it’s happening. I wouldn't have believed it myself if I hadn't seen it. They are there.

I don’t really think it was the games that brought these horrible creatures to life. I’m starting to think they were there all along. I can’t shake this horrible feeling that they will do something horrible to me.

I can't sleep anymore. I’m afraid to close my eyes and I’m afraid to open them. Turns out the world I once understood was just a lie. Please don't play those game. It’s not like you’ll be calling them to you. You'll just realize how blind you were before.
