“What’s wrong with my phone?” Cameron said disappointedly as she noticed the black shadow had not only not gone away but instead had grown to cover her one shoulder as well.

After seeing the picture, her frustration began to turn into anger. “I just bought this stupid phone.” she said, tossing it on her bed. Determined to show the world how good she looked, Cameron opened her laptop, logged into her favorite SMS and took a photo of herself using the computer’s built-in camera.

And that’s when she understood. In that moment, all the anger and frustration melted away and instead, fear and terror had arrived. She now understood that the dark matter she had seen before on her phone was not a mistake.

The computer showed her reflection, ready for the next picture. She could see the black ooze spreading across her cheeks, nose, and mouth. The color of the shadow was darker than the darkest night! One thing was clear, this would be the last picture she would ever take. 　(End. By Prof. Michael Okamoto)

“Can’t wait to see you all tonight!” Cameron typed into her cell phone, sending the message to her friends.

Selfies were one of Cameron’s hobbies. She was always sending pictures of herself to her friends and family and tonight was no different. Although she would see her friends in just a few hours, she was already receiving updates from each of them.

Pointing the camera towards herself, she snapped a photo. Before sending the picture, Cameron decided to check the photo to make sure her hair was okay and that there was nothing stuck in her teeth.

“Huh, that’s strange,” Cameron muttered to herself. In a corner of the picture, a dark shadow covered up the ends of her long hair on one side. Although the sun was quickly setting, the lights in her room were quite bright. Looking behind her and confirming that no shadow was there, Cameron decided to smile extra big and take a second photo.
