I Checked My GuestCountry Analytics at 12:27 AM

My phone battery is always at 31% when I start writing, and the time is always 12:27 AM. Just like right now in your screenshot.
I was writing a simple horror story. The website kept showing me an error - "Min. 400 words required, Featured image required, Writing Assistant is a Gold Feature."
I ignored it and kept writing.
Suddenly, my word count stopped at 399. I typed one more word, but it stayed at 399. I typed another. Still 399. I refreshed the page but the count was still stuck at 343 words like in your image.
Then I saw it. At the bottom of my editor, in very light grey text that I did not write, there were two words: "Help Me."
I tried to delete it. I couldn't. I refreshed the page. The draft was still there. But now the light grey text had changed to - "He is behind you now."
I felt cold. I am alone in my room in Delhi. My door is locked.
I looked at the "Featured image" box on the right. I had not uploaded any image. But there was an image there. It was loading... 0%... 50%... 100%.
It was a photo of my room. Taken right now. From behind me. I could see myself in the photo, sitting in front of my laptop, writing this story. And behind my chair, there was a tall black shadow with no face.
I screamed and closed my laptop.
After 5 minutes, I opened it again. Everything was normal. No image. Word count 0. The error "Min. 400 words required" was back.
I thought it was a glitch. I started writing again. This story.
Now I have written more than 400 words. And I just checked my article analytics. It shows 1 view already. Time: 12:27 AM. Location: Delhi, Delhi. Device: My own phone. Battery: 28% just like in your status bar.
Someone is reading this story before I even publish it.
I checked my phone battery. It was still 28%. And the time on my laptop was still 12:43 AM. The time is not moving. I am stuck in this draft. If you can see this story published, it means I finally escaped.
If you are reading this published version, please check your own analytics. If you also see that 1 view at 12:27 AM, don't write after midnight. He likes to read horror stories before they are published.
I am still hearing the typing sound from my keyboard, but I am not typing. The draft is writing itself now. The cursor is moving alone at 12:43 AM and my battery is dropping from 28% to 27%.The endThankyou
