Silent Sounds Horror Stories Ep 1 ‘what my dog saw’

I’m not much of a believer in the supernatural. Nor did I ever think I would encounter it myself. I live in a small apartment where nothing really happens. It’s a college town so I mostly have college kids as neighbors. You would think that having them as neighbors would be noisy but they're either studying or sleeping. It's a  good spot for me, I keep to myself and don't make too much noise either. I’m the type of guy who likes the simpler things in life, I’m not boring I’m just quiet. 

My mom is always telling me I need a girlfriend or something to keep me company as all my friends are online. She worries about me. I guess I can’t be too mad at her since that's just what mothers do.

As a way to appease her I decided to get a dog from the pound. He’s a small jack terrier and his name is Link after the popular nintendo game. He’s actually well tamed and doesn't bark often. I forgot to mention I have CCTV cameras around my apartment that connect to my phone. I’m a logical guy and it would make sense to have some around my apartment since I have a really expensive computer that I use and so when I’m at work I can make sure my stuff is safe. 

A couple of months go by and Link has adjusted really well, one night while gaming late I heard a couple of footsteps rush upstairs. It was about 3 am so I figured it was some college kids coming home from a party. I was wrong, as I heard “POLICE! OPEN UP!”

Apparently they heard screams, cackles and a loud bang coming from the apartment upstairs. 

Using my headphones I didn’t hear a thing. The reason I even knew it was the police was the loud vibrations from their feet running and banging so loudly. 

I kept to myself but I was compelled to see what the commotion was. I open my door slightly and I can see the police mens flashlights clear the room. Then before I can just go back to gaming Link begins to growl and bark. He then runs out of my room and heads straight toward the upstairs door. 

“Hey LINK! GET OVER HERE DAMMIT!!”

I chase after him to the upstairs floor and catch him. what I see next  is straight out of a movie. A huge pentagram is carved on the floor and candles are lit everywhere. Next to the floor carving is a covered dead body. My heart drops, as superstitions as I am this scared me to the core. 

A police officer sees me 

“Hey this place is off limits if you're trying to reach your floor please use the elevators.” 

I replied dumbfounded “Oh no sorry sir I was just trying to get my dog.”

He gives me a look as to say ‘Yeah right you're here for the show’ He walks away and so do I. 

Don’t look back, don't look back. 

It was about 4 or 5 am at night as I laid in my bed. I know this since the sirens coming out of my bedroom finally stopped but that's not what kept me up at night. Something felt ugly inside of me, It felt like something heavy was weighing down my chest. 

I didn’t sleep at all that night, my alarm went off my phone, it read ‘get your ass to work’

I pull up and my co-worker Sandra stops me “woah! You look like a dead dude.” she sniffs “you smell like it too? Everything okay?”

I reply softly “yeah I uhh.. My upstairs neighbor passed away last night.” 

Her face changed almost immediately. “Are you okay?” I replied walking away “yeah i’m fine.’

I didn’t want to be rude but I also didn’t want to talk about it. 

Work was slow, at least it felt longer than usual. I grab my phone to see my CCTV cam, I open my security app. I felt scared for some reason.  I would soon realize why, as I see Link barking at a corner.  He has never done this. My eyes widen and I start to choke up a little. It looked as if a dark shadow figure was in the corner of my  room. Link continued to bark when SUDDENLY BANG! All of my  food, pots and pans come crashing down!

Link yelps with his tail between his legs and scurries to my room. I click my other camera, nothing. Damn. I grab my coat and leave. Before I go to my doorstep something stops me. I’m frozen in fear. Move damn it!! MOVE! 

I force my muscles to move towards my door. When I open it I see Link on the floor hurt. All of my stuff is on the floor as if someone broke into my house. 

“WHO DID THIS!!” I yelled. 

“WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS!!”

Nothing. 

I quickly go to Link and rush him to the hospital leaving my door open.

At the animal hospital they told me he had a couple of bruises and some scratches on him. They questioned me a little more and reassured them that this was not my doing. 

I quickly rented a room elsewhere and decided to contact my  leasing office that I will be moving out immediately. 

A couple of months go by and  I’m at work where I hear a TV report. It was all white noise until I heard it was my old apartment complex. My heart sinks. The person who had rented my apartment was found dead….

The body found  was unrecognizable as it was.. torn apart…  The cops on the news said when they entered the apartment, the walls were plastered in blood. It’s as if someone had painted the walls red. That could have been me.. I turn up the TV to hear more.

There weren't a lot of details since it was the news but I looked it up online. 

One report actually had footage  and a warning sign above it. Do I really want to see this? No. I need to see this. 

A video plays, The cops actually were holding back a lot of the gory details. As the camera pans around the BLOODY RED apartment walls, guts, and what looks to be an eyeball and some brain matter splattered across the same walls. I couldn't believe what I was looking at. I felt sick to my stomach…  

Later on at night Link jumps on to my bed and lays his head on my chest. I pet him as he snuggles deeper on my chest. My eyes begin to feel heavy as I drift off but before I fall to sleep, Link's head and ears stand straight up. He gets up facing the corner of my room. His tail changes at an upward position, I sit up and turn on my lamp. Link continues to growl. Those growls turn into barks.. He becomes Louder and louder. 

I look to my night stand and see my phone. I slowly grab it and open my camera app. There I am with Link… and a dark shadowy figure standing right in front of him…..
