Carl Tristan Matias was an unemployed 19 year old who dropped out of college because of financial problems. He lives alone in an apartment playing video games and sleeping all day.

Date: November 24, 2004 

Time: 1:34 PM

Carl is playing video games and raging because he has bad teammates.

" Damn these teammates, I hope they die."

Carl said as he slammed his phone to the ground, Then he lay down on his bed.

* my mother died from a car accident 5 years ago and 6 days after that my father commited suicide because of depression. 3 years later my sister was killed by her boyfriend.*

Carl thought to himself as he stood up and went to the bathroom, he then looked at the mirror and drank a lot of pills.

*My girlfriend left me with a man who's rich, my best friend left me because I was a failure, I want a reason to still keep living.*

Carl said as he began to cry, He then slowly walked towards his bed and sat on it.

"Guess I'll just play a game or two."

Carl picked up his phone and tried to play.

"Why isn't it opening?"

Carl said to himself as he clicked the power button from his phone many times.

" I just charged this, is it broken?"

Carl was then confused on why he can't open his phone. As he was trying to open his phone he heard a whisper from the open window.

"What was that?"

Carl then walked towards the window and looked from the outside.

" I should probably got to bed. "

Carl said with a confused tone.

"Probably just my mind playing tricks with me."

"Carl."

Carl was shocked as he heard a whisper from behind him.

" Who's there?! "

Carl shouts as he looks around the room finding the person who whispered to his ear. He then grabbed his phone and tried to open it hoping to dial 911.

"Come you stupid phone open already."

Carl said nervously as he tried several times to click the power button.

"Carl… Don't be afraid, just come with me."

Said by a shadow figure as it tries to reach carl.

"Wha…what are you?!"

Carl shouts fearfully as he sees a black figure trying to get inside his room.

"Help!"

Carl shouts as he runs towards the front door.

"Carl.. Do not trust what you see for it hides a hideous identity."

The black figure said to Carl as it saw him trying to get away.

" Come on! Come on! "

Carl said as he tried to open the doorknob.

" Yes.. Yes! "

Carl shouted with a tone of relief.

"Carl, come here!"

The black figure said as it tried to reach for Carl, Carl then opened the door and quickly got out of his room.

"What the hell was that?!"

Carl said as he ran away from his apartment.

" Help! Anybody! There's an intruder from my apartment "

Carl shouted as he ran outside.

 " Why is it night? How long was I playing?"

Carl said confusedly as he was gasping. He then walked across the street shouting for someone to help him.

" Hello ?! Anybody ?! There's an intruder from my apartment please call the police !"

*What the hell is happening?*

Carl thought to himself wondering why no one is coming out of their home.

"Carl !"

The black figure shouted at Carl as it tried to get to him.

"Wha… What the hell are you?"

"I am here to claim your soul, Carl, don't be afraid."

The black figure said as it reached its hands to carl.

"No! No! Stay away from me! I don't know who you are!."

Carl shouted to the black figure as he tried to get away from it.

"Carl."

Suddenly a familiar voice from a far called carl.

" Huh? Who's there?"

Carl replies as he runs towards the voice hoping to get help, As he runs he begins to see a human silhouette.

" there's someone there"

Carl then proceeds to go further to the person who called for him.

" Sir! Sir! Please call for help someone just breaks in to my apartment and i - "

" Carl, how are you?" 

Carl was shocked as he saw his father right in front of him.

"Da..dad?! But how?!"

"Everything's alright now Carl just come with me."

Carl then began to cry as he saw his deceased father fully alive and well in front of him.

"Dad…. It's been really hard since you left."

"I'm sorry Carl, I wasn't thinking straight back then but don't worry I am here for you now just come with me."

His father then approached him slowly.

" Carl! Get away from him!"

The shadow figure shouts as he sees Carl's father. Carl looked back with worry but then his father suddenly hugged him.

" you're in safe hands now carl."

His father said with a devilish grin.

"thanks dad."

Carl said as a hundred demonic hands grab him and drag him to hell.

"Well I heard a voice yesterday calling for help but found no one until I saw that Carl's door was open and when I went and looked for him I just saw him dead on the ground from his bathroom."

The apartment manager said as he was being called by the police.

" Hmm okay thank you for your time."

The police officer said as he started to scratch his head.

" Sir! Sir!"

" What is it,private?"

" We just found new evidence."

" What is it?"

" There are footprints from the hallway leading to the front door,sir."

" Footprints? Does it belong to carl?"

" No sir."

" well this is weird, because this case can't be murder, carl overdosed himself, he accidentally commited suicide."

The police officer said as the paramedics brought  Carl's corpse to the ambulance.
