*Incoherent screaming*
This is SO good. I am a fan of horror/scary movies and this had me like "eeee-oh shit!" the whole time. It made me want to laugh but, at the same time I was gripping my blanket so tight. As "TheFabs" said, I also thought it might be more of a silly thing but, was very pleased that it wasn't.
I love that you aren't sure if this creepy being is friendly or has dark intentions. His face, of course, a misleading factor.
The reaction of the main character when he met the being was perfect and very relatable. It's hard to know what to do when someone seems to be acting friendly but, looks evil. The speechlessness was a believable touch.
Excellent work!

Side note...
Seeing a part two or more adventures of this being would definitely have my attention!
