At first I thought that it was just my thoughts. It was late at night. My room was quite and dark. A quite that almost feels loud. I was laying on my bed just scrolling through my phone. Then suddenly I heard a sound.
A voice.
Not out loud , but inside my head.
I didn't panic. "We all talk to ourselves." I whispered. I ignored it and try to sleep.
But then it said something.
Something that I would never say.
I sat up.
My heart started beating faster. I told myself it was nothing. Maybe I'm just imagining or overthinking.
But the voice came back.
More clearer this time.it sounded like me. But it didn't feel like me.
It knew things. Things about my personal life. Things that I never told anyone before.
It just waited. Then when everything got quite again, it spoke.
Softly.
Calmly.
"Who are you?" I whispered.
For a moment there was silence.
The it answered.
" I'm you."
I froze.
I tried to laugh it off, tell myself that I'm just tired. But then my phone lit up on its own.
A message appeared on the screen. From my own number.
It said:
"Why are you acting like you don't know me?"
