The Delivery

Less than 30 minutes after he placed an order at a local eatery, he heard a faint knock on the door. He assumed the delivery guy was at the door, so he rushed to open it. Inches away from the door, he felt unease as if something else was outside. Through the peeping hole, he saw two men doing a handstand while being completely still. He went to the window to have a full view of what was happening outside, and the two men were right on his front yard.

For a moment, he thought it's a couple of drunk people having a time of their lives, but that suddenly changed when they both started moving around perfectly fine. They were somehow walking with their hands like a normal activity. He wanted to go out and confront them, but they outnumbered him, so he went to get his phone and call the police. On his way back, he called the police and was narrating the situation. Before he could get to the window to see what more was happening, he froze in shock as one of the men had his face pressed up against the window.


Up close, what he thought was a drunk man was actually a faceless figure with a gaping hole underneath its neck. Out of absolute fear, he begged the police operator to get him help quickly. The operator asked him whether all his doors and windows were locked, and he confirmed they all were. The operator asked him if he's alone in the house, and before he could answer, the figure shook its head and pointed behind him.


Moments later, the delivery man pulled up to the man's front yard, where he was met by a group of police officers carrying out the lifeless and headless body of the man.
