A Terror in My Closet
Every night, when the stars sets and gloom creep across my room, a presence of unease washes over me. I can't ignore this strange feeling that something is staring me from the rear of my closet. I know it's just my mind playing tricks, but the thought lingers in the back of my thoughts.
Sometimes, when I close my lids, I can almost feel its aura on my neck. It's a shivering sensation that makes me want to scream. I try to distract myself with stories, but the fear always creeps back in. I know I should just face it, but my pulse pounds so loud that all I can do is hide under my blanket.

The path, if you could call it that, had faded long ago, swallowed by the thick undergrowth. Gloom stretched out before me, pulsating with an unnatural life of their own.
My heart pounded in my chest, a frantic drumbeat against the silence. Every rustle of leaves, every snap of a twig, sent shivers down my spine. I was prey in this forbidding wilderness, hunted by an unknown terror.
Fear 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 darkness?

An Echoing Presence
