the figures of death

Alone in the house, I looked out the window, and I saw a shadowy figure lurking near the street light. I glanced back at the television, trying to shake the thought of the figure out of my head, but I just couldn’t do it, I was too scared. I looked back out my window immediately, but the figure was no longer there. I went back to looking at the television, and I noticed that there was a strange story on the news. The news reporter said, “The police have received numerous calls reporting shadowy figures in the town of Bloomington, but people are claiming that the figure just disappears! How can this be, and how many are there?!” I became even more scared, frantically looking out my window, trying to find the figure again. There had to be an [what kind] of explanation for this. Just then, the TV screen started showing static and making a loud [describe kind of sound] noise. I jumped out of my seat from fear as soon as it started, frantically trying to find the remote to fix it. I finally found the remote, and looked up at the TV and saw o see a dark, shadowy figure staring back at me from under a black cloak. Terrified, I began to frantically press all of the buttons on the remote, trying to get the figure to disappear from my screen. When that did not work, I ran up to the television and tried to turn it off, but the figure was still there, just watching me from the screen. Not knowing what to do, I ran into my bedroom, and hopped into my bed. When I looked at the TV screen in my room I almost had a heart attack. The same shadowy figure was there too! Now the figure started moving. Its started raising its arms with its pitch black hands and fingers pointing right at me. It raised its head slowly from underneath its hood with itstwo glowing red eyes staring right at me, into my soul. I started to feel dead inside, first losing feeling in my toes and fingers, then my legs and arms, and slowly reaching my heart, as my life flashed before my eyes, I was sucked in to my television. I felt suddenly warm and realized I was covered in a cloak as if I had just joined the joined the army of the Figures of Death.
