Every night, when the stars sets and shadows creep across my room, a sensation of unease washes over me. I can't dismiss this odd feeling that something is observing me from the rear of my closet. I know it's just my imagination, but the thought lingers in the back of my head.
Sometimes, when I close my eyes, I can almost perceive its aura on my neck. It's a shivering 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 deal with it, but my pulse pounds so loud that all I can do is tremble under my covers.

Each step I took creaked on the leafy ground, the only sound breaking the heavy silence. Doubt clawed at the edges of my mind. I was totally alone.
The path, if you could call it that, had faded long ago, swallowed by the thick undergrowth. Darkness stretched out before me, pulsating with an unnatural life of their own.
My heart hammered 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 unsettling wilderness, hunted by the darkness itself.
Doubt tightened its grip on me. Would I ever find my way out of these woods? Or would I become just another lost soul, claimed by the forest?

An Echoing Presence
I trudged down the dark road, my heart pounding in my chest. Every snap of leaves beneath my feet sent a shiver down my spine. The night was heavy, broken only by the whooshing wind. Then I heard it - the measured thud of boots following closely behind me.
Instinctively, I sprang into a nearby ditch. 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 lurking me in the night?
