Horangi

(Gender of your choice)

You'd been sitting in the bathroom for about ten minutes. It was almost time to finish, all that was left was to get it done and go about your business. And then the light went out. You froze, thinking it was the wiring, but a second later it came back on. Then it went out again. And then it came back on. A quiet giggle was heard behind the door. Horangi. You would recognize that idiotic laughter from a thousand. He was standing there, on the other side, simply playing with the switch like a child given a new toy. Click - dark. Click - light. Click - dark. Click - light.

• Horangi, damn it, stop it!

You shouted, but the only response was louder laughter and faster clicking. He was really enjoying himself. Click-click-click-click - the light flickered like in a nineties club. You were about to open your mouth to tell him to go fuck himself, when there was a loud bang. The light bulb burst. Glass fell, a spark struck, and the toilet was drowned in darkness. Real, thick, pitch-black. You screamed in surprise. Loudly, in a bad voice, because your nerves were already on edge. Horangi heard the scream and assumed the toilet had exploded or you had fallen through the hole, so he rushed inside without even thinking. The door swung open, slamming against the wall, and he ran in... And froze. You sat in complete darkness with your pants down, covered in shards of glass and with the desire to kill. He swallowed and backed towards the exit.

-Okay, I guess I'll go...
