okay, this isn't intended to be stupid, but i can't upload it on the creepypasta wiki.
my parents have their own, "exclusive" legend, carried down orally. its called "Kizutsuita Otoko", or Kizotoko, for short. they describe it as a fleshy head with a long neck, 3 arms,and the body of a spider, made of the same, consistent flesh material. I really never believed it. although i was one of those kids that frequently had nightmares, i never really had nightmares about the Kizotoko. rather than actually believing my family's stories of Kizutsuita Otoko, i spent my time fishing, jogging, and sometimes playing indie games on my duel screen monitor. i know it may sound rude to not believe in my family's tradition, but if you knew what it was about, you would think it was just a bunch of random words with no meaning. if that's true, which, i thought it was at the time, then, i wouldn't be typing this.
so, the weird happenings started around 2 weeks ago. after a long day of work, i was walking up the stairs to get to my apartment, which was one of the top parts of the complex. when i got to the 1st staircase, however, i saw something, rather strange.
it appeared to be the hollow skin of a red, humanoid creature. i wasn't exactly focused on the hands, but in my peripheral vision, they appeared to only have 3 fingers. just as i saw it, it backed away behind my vision of the apartment hallways exactly above me. i shook off the sudden anxiety i felt on me and climbed up the stairs, fiddling with my keys in my dominant hand. the rest of the trip to my apartment was rather normal, aside from a moth that suddenly flew around me, which triggered my Mottephobia.
when i entered my apartment, i immediately headed up to the kitchen to fix up a snack, while my brazillian terrier named fluffy excitedly barked at my feet. i opened up my cupboard to see what i have, which, to my dismay, was only a bag of lays, peanut butter & plastic cups. i closed the cupboard, opened up the refridgerator, and popped open a coke. i flopped onto the couch and pet Fluffy, who now was on my stomach. i switched the channel to Adult Swim, and quickly passed out.
the next morning, i could still feel my dog laying on my belly, so, still with eyes shut from tiredness, i decided to pet Fluffy. however, Fluffy's body felt like flesh. suddenly, i realised;
that isn't Fluffy. as soon as i realised this, the weird creature scuttled off of me at an extremely quick pace, which triggered my body to shoot up. still frantically breathing in a feeling that was less of fear and more of confusion, i looked over. Fluffy was Barking, as if she knew the creature on my stomach was a threat. i shookenly stood up and looked at the clock.
it was 10:00 PM. there was no work today, so, i just sat up on the couch, contemplating what it was, while i pet Fluffy, who was now on my lap. to be honest, i must've zoned out in thought for about 4 hours before a sudden knock on the door made me jump 3 inches into the air. i got up to answer the door, but nothing was there. i thought it was strange, but i went to sit back down. before i could, however, there was yet again another knock. i did the same thing, but yet again, there was a knock. i got up to see who it was again, but this time, what i saw was truely frightening.
A gigantic, fleshy spider had three fleshy arms sprouting out of its sides, one sprouting out of where it's heart would've been. the head, instead of a spider head, rather, was a long fleshy neck with a human head on top, also fleshy. the head's mouth had razor sharp teeth.
i immediately slammed the door shut, and Fluffy came around, barking her head off. i stumbled back into the bathroom and fainted.
when i woke up, the door was wide open. Fluffy was in the corner of the room, frighteningly whining. i could hear slow slumping of the same strange creature. as soon as i could, i stood up and closed the door yet again. i ran into the kitchen and picked up the phone, calling the police. of course, they didn't listen. as soon as i tried to call my mom, the phone suddenly disconnected. after 5 minutes, i head a loud BANG
! on the door. i grabbed Fluffy, and waited at the door for the thing to leave. as soon as it did, i counted down.

NOW!
i threw the door open and looked both sides. on the left, i could see Kizotoko, who had clearly heard the door fly open. i ran in the opposite direction with Fluffy in my hands. i sprinted to the staircase that went down, and flew down the staircase at break-neck speeds. however, as soon as i turned for the exit when i was at the bottom of the staircase, the other Hollow skinned humanoid was right in my face. with my fight-or-flight instinct, i pushed the monster out of the way and ran towards the exit, which was extremely further away. even though i was making good progress, i looked back, and Kizotoko was directly behind me. i picked up speeds and somehow outran the thing. Finally, i busted down the entrance door, and ran to my car. i finally got out my car ke.... wait. shit.
the car keys were still in the apartment.
i got out of the car and dashed away, still frantically looking back, catching glimpses of the two monsters still chasing me. after getting a good mile's distance away, i took a rest. the walk to my parent's house wasn't too long.
when i got into their house, there was blood everywhere, but my family was missing. i frantically ran around, looking for them, but they were nowhere to be seen. suddenly, i heard a news reporter on the still-on TV.
"A couple at the age of 65 died this morning. their bodies were retrieved. the bodies were presumed to be struggling before death. razor-like bite-marks were seen on the carcasses."
