I Thought It Was a Piece of Trash on the Bathroom Floor – Until It Moved

I checked the corners first, wondering if something might have fallen from behind the toilet. Then I looked beneath the sink, around the pipes, near the shower, and along the edges of the walls.

I even looked up at the ceiling.

Nothing.

Everything appeared normal.

And somehow, that made the strange object on the floor even more unsettling.

I kept staring at it, trying to figure out what I was looking at.

It was dark.AD

It was thick.

And it had a shape that seemed almost too natural to be a piece of household debris.

Then another thought crossed my mind:

Did it move?

I immediately dismissed the idea.

Of course it hadn’t moved.

It was probably just my imagination.

Still, I couldn’t shake the feeling.

I watched it for several seconds, waiting for something—anything—to happen.

Nothing did.

Or at least, nothing that I could see.

My thoughts became increasingly irrational. I started wondering where it had come from. Could it have slipped through a drain? Could something have crawled into the bathroom while I wasn’t looking?

The bathroom suddenly felt different.AD

A moment earlier, it had been an ordinary room. A place I entered without thinking.

Now every dark corner seemed suspicious.
