Every night, when the moon sets and gloom creep across my room, a feeling of unease washes over me. I can't ignore this odd feeling that something is staring me from the corner of my closet. I know it's just my imagination, but the idea lingers in the back of my head.
Sometimes, when I close my peepers, I can almost perceive its aura on my neck. It's a cold sensation that makes me want to scream. I try to distract myself with books, but the terror always creeps back in. I know I should just confront it, but my soul pounds so loud that all I can do is tremble under my covers.

The path, if you could call it that, had vanished long ago, swallowed by the dense 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 menacing 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 forest?

Reflexively, I lunged into a nearby clearing. My eyes scanned the darkness, searching for the source of the sound. But there was nothing there - only the wind whispering. Had it been my imagination? Or was something truly stalking me in the night?
