They Don’t Like to be Seen : Scary Stories – Short Horror Story

Have you ever wondered the necessity for the constant recording to ‘Mind the Gap’?

After all, it’s a very narrow gap, easily stepped over unless one is wearing heels. Still, if you sit in a station long enough at one time, you will see every passenger (no matter how encumbered or distracted), look down as they step over the gap. Every passenger and every time, without fail.

If you evade security and cameras, and sit silently beside the tracks long enough after the lights have been turned out, you will begin to hear things.

It isn’t the skittering of a rat, or the squeaks of a mouse; both are very distinctive sounds.

This is different, and yet familiar. It sounds like the sounds a rat with the slowness of a tortoise, or a squeal so faint and high-pitched that it lives on the edge of hearing.

They don’t like to be seen, I now understand. This is why everybody looks down as they mind the gap. But sitting in absolute darkness, there is nothing to see. There is nothing to see, and the glacial skittering and the unhearable squeaking are getting closer.

Mind the gap.
