Don't Look at Mandu

Take a deep breath, and bear with me. Don't worry, he is not behind you. At this very moment, Mandu is in your room. He is in plain sight from where you are reading this; do not try to find him, it would make him angry.
Mandu is the being that tries to hurt you in your most terrifying nightmares, thus it is recommendable that you try to wake up as fast as you can if you are in one of them. Mandu is also the spirit of those you've once hurt, and therefore, he'll seek revenge. Mandu is the fear you try to avoid. What you don't want to see. What you don't want to feel. Mandu is the fire from hell that you try to avoid, and the knife of which you avoid being a victim.
As you read this, Mandu is slowly getting closer to you. DO NOT LOOK. Stay still! Once again: Mandu hates being looked for. That trepidation you're feeling from head to toe? It means that Mandu isn't very far. Try to suppress any traumatic memories. Mandu will make you relive them. Don't think about your darkest fears. Mandu will make them real.
As saliva pours down your throat, and that shiver in the back on your neck becomes present, Mandu is planning what to do to you. How to satiate the hunger for revenge of those you have wronged.
And guess what?
Mandu is right above you. DO NOT LOOK UP. Make sure there's nothing in which his image can be reflected (glasses, windows, even glass cups).
If you're still reading this, then you're lucky... Mandu is still planning what to do to you... Maybe yank your tongue out, so you can't hurt anybody with your words anymore. Maybe tear your arms off, so you can't punch anyone. Maybe he'll gouge your eyes out, so you can't look at illicit stuff anymore. Anybody, unknowingly, can become Mandu's victim, because humans always harm each other, and Mandu has to do his job.
The people who took their own lives?
They never harmed themselves, they were Mandu's victims.
The people who died in accidents?
Mandu was doing his job.
Maybe, at this very moment, or a bit later, you might die: drowned, asphyxiated, in an accident, or suffering the worst kind of fate you could ever imagine, and just then, Mandu's work will have been finally fulfilled.
You should've been a kind-hearted person...
