That last thought made my skin crawl.
The bathroom had always seemed perfectly normal to me. It was clean and familiar, the kind of place where you wouldn’t expect to find anything unusual. Yet suddenly, every dark corner and damp surface seemed suspicious.
I kept staring at the object from a safe distance.
Eventually, curiosity became stronger than fear.
I carefully moved closer and took another look. This time, I paid attention to its surface and shape. That’s when I noticed something that immediately confirmed my suspicion.
It appeared to move.
Not dramatically. There was no sudden jump or rapid crawling. It was only a subtle movement, but it was enough.
This wasn’t a piece of rubber.
It wasn’t trash.
It was alive.
At that point, I wanted to know exactly what I was dealing with. I took a picture and started searching online, comparing what I had found with different images.
After several searches, I finally found something that looked almost identical.
It was a leech.
The moment I realized what it was, I felt even more uncomfortable.
Leeches are worm-like creatures that usually live in moist environments, particularly freshwater and other wet areas. Many species are known for attaching themselves to animals or humans and feeding on blood.
