    You did an excellent job with this story! Overall, it was very creepy. And you did a great job telling a story, while still adhering to the strict word count. The only bit of criticism I have is that most of the lines in the beginning started with dialogue, which felt sort of repetitive. Other than that, excellent job!

    I love that we never know what was actually in the closet.
    I think this piece has a lot of potential. I love the concept of it, and I actually think being really short served your purpose really well.
    There were several distracting errors though:
    “AAAAAHHHHH!” I screamed as loudly as I could, only stopping when I heard my dad appeared at my door and after turning on the light he walked toward me with droopy eyes. - First of all, I'm not personally fond of the literal "AAAH!" at the beginning, especially not with the capslock. Secondly, "when I heard my dad appeared at the door" needs to be "when I heard my dad appear at the door". Lastly, the "after turning on the light" should probably be it's own sentence.
    “NO Daddy, I REALLY saw something!” I cried as fresh tears crawling down my face. -Again, I'm personally not a fan of the capslock. Also, "crawling" needs to be "crawled".
    That's it. Other than that, I think you're good.
    Cheers.
