Bone

I don’t know why, but I had a feeling that something was off that night. It was about a decade ago, so my memory of what happened might be a bit fuzzy. 
What happened that night happened at about eleven or so. My parents were asleep, my brother was at his girlfriends' place, and I was by myself watching a show on my computer. At some point, I turned off my computer, got coffee ready for the next morning, and tried to get some sleep. That’s when I heard these weird clicking noises outside my window. After a while, I looked out to see what it was and where it was coming from. That was when I saw it. Walking in the middle of the road was this tall, bone-white creature, roaming the neighborhood as if it was searching for something. I couldn't tell if it was hunched over or if that was just how it normally was. I wasn’t sure if it was a creature or a weirdly deformed man. 
“What the fuck?” I said to myself. That was when it turned to look at me. I quickly ducked down so it couldn’t see me, trying to process what I just saw. But before I could even think about it, I heard its clicking noise right outside my window. Keep in mind, my bedroom window is on the second floor of the house. I have no idea how it got up there so fast from the other side of the street, but just like that, it was there. I forgot to lock the window, realizing it was too late when I saw it quickly open the window and make its way inside. 
I was able to get a better look at it after it got inside my room. This thing had to have been about seven feet tall, at least. Its arms went down past its knees, with what I assumed were abnormally long claws for its fingers. After a few seconds, I noticed how skinny this thing was. It was bone thin, as if it hadn’t eaten in weeks or months. Speaking of, even with this closer look, I couldn’t tell if it was a human or some fucked up animal. I tried looking at its head to see what it is, but I didn’t even know what I was looking at. The best way I can describe it is that its head was shaped like paper mâché head with the snout of a goat. The weirdest part was that it didn’t have eyes. It was like its skin had grown over the sockets, covering them completely. 
It slowly made its way out of my room and down the stairs, clicking as it moved around. I remember thinking that was how it sees. That sound continues to ring in my head to this very day. Its ear-piercing, echoing clicks are something I’m never going to forget. I quietly grabbed my phone, went to the stairs, and took a picture of this monstrosity. I was about to try and call the police when my dad walked out and asked what I was doing. The creature looked up the stairs directly at us, catching my dad off guard. “What the fuck is that?” He yelled. Before we even had time to react, the creature lunged toward my dad. 
I didn’t see what happened next. I immediately hid in my room while I heard the screams and cries for help from my parent's room as that thing attacked them. I called the police while I was hiding. When they showed up, the creature was gone. I managed to get a glimpse inside the room before they took me outside, and what I saw is something I’m never gonna forget. 
My dad was lying on the floor, and my mom was on their bed, motionless. There was no blood, no stab wounds, no trauma, nothing. They were just laying there as if they were deflated balloons. I learned later on that their bones were all gone. They weren’t sure how it happened or who did it, but I knew. I tried to show the police the picture of the creature that killed my parents, but they brushed it off, saying that a creature like that doesn’t exist. They believe the creature I saw was a result of trauma. To this day, they never found it or figured out how it took all the bones out of my parent’s bodies. 
As I said before, this was about a decade ago. However, I bring it up because I think I’ve been seeing it again around my neighborhood recently. I can’t tell for sure because, whatever it is, it hides in the shadows. I’m writing this as a warning. If you see this creature nearby, get away from it as quickly and quietly as you can.
