Every night, when the moon sets and gloom creep across my room, a presence of unease washes over me. I can't dismiss this strange feeling that something is staring me from the rear of my closet. I know it's just my anxiety, but the thought lingers in the back of my mind.
Sometimes, when I close my peepers, I can almost sense its aura on my neck. It's a chilling sensation that makes me want to cry. I try to distract myself with games, but the fear always creeps back in. I know I should just face it, but my heart pounds so loud that all I can do is cower under my sheets.

The path, if you could call it that, had vanished long ago, swallowed by the dense undergrowth. Gloom stretched out before me, shifting with an unnatural life of their own.
My heart pounded in my chest, a frantic drumbeat against the stillness. Every rustle of leaves, every snap of a twig, sent shivers down my spine. I was prey in this forbidding wilderness, hunted by the darkness itself.
Terror tightened its grip on me. Would I ever find my way out of these woods? Or would I become just another lost soul, consumed by the darkness?

An Echoing Presence
I crept down the dark road, my heart hammering in my chest. Every crack of leaves beneath my feet sent a shiver down my spine. The night was still, broken only by the distant howl. Then I heard it - the measured thud of shoes following closely behind me.
Instinctively, I sprang into a nearby clearing. My eyes scanned the darkness, searching for the source of the sound. But there was nothing there - only the trees swaying. Had it been my imagination? Or was something truly hunting me in the night?
