The Glowing Eyes

There was a day I was coming back home very late from work, I was so hungry, so I bought bread and egg to have for dinner. The road back to my house was dark as there was no NEPA light, and the flashlight of my button phone wasn't bright enough, but I had to manage it. All my mine was to get home, take my bath, eat and sleep, nothing more, nothing less.

As I got to the compound I live, the gate was locked already, so I had to knock for somebody to come and open the gate for me. While I was still knocking, I pointed my flashlight at something not too far away from where I was standing, and I saw two eyes balls that was glowing, staring at me. At first, I tried to comport myself and pretend as if I didn't see anything.

Someone finally heard me knocking and told me she's coming to open the gate. I don't know what happened to me, I started thinking about all sort of horror stuffs I have ever heard, imagining how the two eyeballs I saw could be a ghost and how the eyes could appear at my back to terrify me. I immediately looked back to make sure that my imagination didn't happen in real life, fear gripped me.

I pointed the dim flashlight at the spot again and saw four glowing eyes, the eyes moved and I couldn't hold myself at the point, I turned back and ran. I didn't run too far when I finally heard the gate being opened, my neighbor came out with a much brighter touch and I saw that the four eyes I saw was actually two cats that were staring at me. The cats ran off and my neighbor laughed because of the way the cats terrified me. But actually I was the one that scared myself by thinking of horrible things in my mind, which in turn triggered the fear. When I checked, my egg was broken.
