Choose a beginning Scenario: A) Afterschool, Michael found himself in the local park, sitting alone on a swing set, his backpack placed on the ground beside him. He stared blankly at the ground, zoning out as he listened to the sounds of children playing and laughing in the distance. Or B) Michael stood alone in the dimly lit office, his hands trembling as they clutched the surveillance monitor. His weary eyes scanned the screens, searching for any signs of movement or any indication of danger lurking in the shadows. Each time he caught a glimpse of a shadow in the corner of his eye or heard a faint creak coming from the corridor, his heart would skip a beat, the memories of the past resurfacing as he braced himself for the worst. Or C) Michael's footsteps echoed through the deserted corridors of the abandoned restaurant as he clutched a backpack tightly to his side. His heart pounded a rhythmic beat, fueled by both fear and a grim resolve. Suddenly, he heard a faint shuffling noise, like footsteps approaching from the shadows.
