Every night, when the stars sets and shadows creep across my room, a sensation of unease washes over me. I can't ignore this odd feeling that something is staring me from the back of my closet. I know it's just my imagination, but the thought lingers in the back of my mind.
Sometimes, when I close my lids, I can almost sense its presence on my neck. It's a shivering sensation that makes me want to cry. I try to distract myself with stories, but the anxiety always creeps back in. I know I should just deal with it, but my heart pounds so loud that all I can do is hide under my blanket.

Underneath the Floorboards
There's an unease that settles in when you hear a creak from underneath the floorboards. It whispers of secrets hidden deep within the house, waiting to be unearthed. A chill runs down your spine as you imagine what might be dwelling in that dark, unseen space. Perhaps it's just an old beam settling, or maybe something more sinister is stirring beneath your feet.

Do you dare to lift those boards and see what lies below? Or will you stay to walk on top, pretending that nothing is there, hoping that whatever awaits beneath the floorboards will remain undisturbed?

Lost in the Forest
A chill wind whistled through the ancient trees, whispering secrets only they understood. The air grew thick with a unfamiliar scent, like rotted leaves. Each step I took creaked on the muddy ground, the only sound breaking the absolute silence. Doubt twisted at the edges of my mind. I was read more totally alone.
The path, if you could call it that, had faded long ago, swallowed by the impenetrable undergrowth. Gloom stretched out before me, wavering with an unnatural life of their own.
My heart throbbed 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 something unseen.
Doubt tightened its grip on me. Would I ever find my way out of these woods? Or would I become just another lost soul, forgotten by the darkness?

A Noise Following Closely
I crept down the dark road, my heart pounding in my chest. Every rustle of leaves beneath my feet sent a shiver down my spine. The night was still, broken only by the whooshing wind. Then I heard it - the measured thud of boots following closely behind me.
Instinctively, 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 shadows dancing. Had it been my imagination? Or was something truly lurking me in the night?
