The eye on the yellow stick-note

(so i used to write, then didn't, and now i'm trying to relearn how to write. i used the "write something about your surroundings" and went with it. this is a short wannabe-scary story, mixed with personal silly things turned 1 level dark)

(also i'm trying to learn to write in english off the top of my head with this, so there are some words or expressions that i don't know how to translate well, or just straight up don't make sense)

Not long ago, but not close to today, you drew in colored stick-notes. On your wall, they're all sticked to. There's pink, blue, orange, and yellow.

Most of them have falled before, so you put tuck tape on them. They have corners folded, colors fainted, and the drawings traces are mixing with the lines of the stick notes. You draw people, you draw stars, draw hair and clothes, draw flowers on decaying bodies, bleeding to death, inmortalize in a paper, with no time going by, always hanging there in blood, stuck to a paper in the wall.

But lately, you noticed one of the drawings. One of the yellow ones, the only stick-note with a warmth yellow instead of a harsh neon.

It has an eye drew on it, with light blue pencil. It has a slit pupil, no eyebrow, a drooping eyelid. You love to draw eyes with long lashes and marked eye bags, though it lacks the dark circles you doodle the eyes in your notebooks with. It's a simple, minimalistic, yet detailed, eye.

The only reason that eye caught yours is because, unlike the others stick notes, it didn't fall- but it didn't hold onto the wall either. You stuck it backwards, so the top is hanging to the front, causing a dark shadow every night you turn on your light.

Almost like it glares at you, you stare back at it. Not trying to intimidate it - you want to understand it; the eye across your room, aside your desk, right in front of your bed.

It doesn't scare you. You haven't had a sleep demon on you ever since.
