Edition #65: Triple Scare!

Story #1: 

I could not understand exactly why I was being raised and groomed by insects. Praying mantises to be specific. I was human. Yet they were twice as tall as me. I always wanted to fight back, find my real parents. Day by day, this curiosity kept increasing. Somehow I could even understand the mantises now. They were telling me never to open certain books. And that's when I decided I had to open one. I snuck out at night, and opened it, only to find a book of facts. I kept flipping it, until I found a cool looking page. I realized it was a page about praying mantises. I hated them by now, but my brain kept telling me that I'm loyal to them. One fact said "Insects such as the praying mantis raise their young with care". That got me creeped. Nah, I thought, probably an fake book. But the next day when I woke up, I noticed a shade of green on my face. And then it fell off. My face fell off, revealing the ugly face of a praying mantis. And just like that, one by one, every part of my body fell off, revealing my thin, green body.

Story #2: 

I remember watching TV that day. It was 11 o' clock at night, and I had just come home for work. I needed to relax for a bit before sleeping. It was a very funny show. My favorite at the time, if I remember correctly. And then the sounds started. I could hear scraping sounds on the hardwood floor. I searched around and found the source immediately. Someone had slipped a small folded note under the door. 

"What the...?" More curious than anything, I approached the note slowly. I picked up the strange sheet of paper and looked at it. On it were 5 words, written in a messy and muddy fashion: "Get out. He is coming." I didn't pause to consider the meaning of this note. I went to throw it into the recycling bin thinking that it was probably a prank from the neighbors. And then I stopped cold in my tracks. I realized that something was very wrong about this situation:

The note had come from under the closet door...

Story #3: 

I don't remember when the hallucinations started. But soon after they did, I kept having visions of someone. It looked like a young boy and his mother. They were playing in the park. Both of them looked somewhat familiar. I couldn't sleep at all once the hallucinations started. I kept worrying about them all night. I decided to tell my dad about them. He had a serious look on his face. After a while, he came over and told me to go to a psychiatrist. I rode over with my bike. The psychiatrist asked me a few questions and I answered them truthfully. He gave me a prescription to buy some medicine. After a few days, I realized the medicine was working. Soon, my hallucinations went away. So did my dad.

Final Remarks:
