Every night, when the sun sets and shadows creep across my room, a sensation of unease washes over me. I can't shake this strange feeling that something is watching me from the corner of my closet. I know it's just my mind playing tricks, but the belief lingers in the back of my head.
Sometimes, when I close my eyes, I can almost sense its aura on my neck. It's a chilling sensation that makes me want to shout. I try to distract myself with games, but the anxiety always creeps back in. I know I should just confront it, but my soul 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.

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

The path, if you could call it that, had faded long ago, swallowed by the impenetrable 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 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, claimed by the night?

Suddenly, I dashed into a nearby alleyway. 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 stalking me in the night?
