We'd always had it, that crystal ball in the corner of the room. I'm not sure where Mom found it, but she thought it was pretty and had to have it visible for the world to see.
It’s not too large, just about three pounds. It sits on the desk, right next to the fake bouquet Mom keeps there to ‘brighten up the room’. Every once in a while the colors would change and you could see some cloudy swirls moving around, but we always thought it was just a neat trick that the battery kept going.
That is, until old Mr. McCreedy’s face appeared through the mist. Everyone who sees him... Well, you’ll have to wait and see for yourself. Your time will come. We all end up in the ball. And now, we’re all watching you, waiting for you.
Come, we’re waiting.

Um... 
haha XD Not creepy at all.
To me this sounds like a very intriguing idea. Little details like the fake bouquet, in my opinion, make it much more vivid. The short sentences, sharp and conscise at the end of course make it more creepy and startling. Now I'm left to come up with this is about...
Good job. I like it.
