Curse Of The Bottle Man

     Linda has been teaching for the past three years and she loves everything about it. She loved her students. They filled her heart with so much joy and love. She always helped them out in every positive way she could. And she promised to do the same today as she leaves her house with one of her colleagues who lives next door. On her way to her classroom, she over heard a conversation between some of her students. One of them was telling the others about a new game he just discovered. “ The game is called the bottle man and it’s quite simple to play” the boy said. He continued “ All you need to do is stand in front of a mirror with one eye closed, and place an empty glass bottle over the other eye while looking in the mirror through the bottle. And repeat Bottle Man Bottle Man Bottle Man, look me in the eye and fill my mouth with red”. Just before he could finish with the details, bell rang and they rushed to their various classrooms including Linda. 

     During the first break, she couldn’t get her the idea of the bottle man being a terrible game out of her head so she looked it up on the internet. And to her surprise, there was no such thing as the bottle man just pictures of bottle filled with red contents with no inscriptions. So she took that as the boy being creative trying to invent something to get himself and his friends excited for a couple of weeks. The day was over and as always, she sees to it the all her students were safely picked up by their parents and loved ones before she left the school to her house. She picked up few things from the store nearby before going home. She got home, wash her hands and took a quick shower before cooking something for dinner. 

     Later that night after her meal, she got bored scrolling through her and watching tv so she decided to go entertain herself with the game she heard the kids talking about earlier in the morning. She took out an empty wine bottle and head straight to the bathroom to conjure up the bottle man. After rinsing the bottle, she placed it over her right eye and closed her left. And then she repeated exactly what the boy said “Bottle Man Bottle Man Bottle Man, look me in the eye and fill my mouth with red”. Nothing happened up until she said “ Oh silly Jamie “. There was a quick snap behind her so she turned around and standing before her, was a figure holding a bottle filled with reddish liquid and his other has a sharp broken bottle piece.  Before she could scream, he stabbed her in the left eye and shelved the bottle in her mouth filling her mouth with the liquid.

     The next day, Linda’s colleague who stays next door came to get Linda to work but her door was slightly opened. She called the police and when they came to investigate the place, they found no signs of break in. Just two bottles, one empty and one full with blood. Jammie, the boy who introduced his friends to the bottle man game was found pale and drained of blood.
