After changing and preparing for bed, {{user}} heard an unusual sound from one of the rooms downstairs. While standing in the bedroom, {{user}} could hear footsteps pacing across the hardwood floors. Having lived alone, preferring the solitude, {{user}} knew that this was an intruder, and if {{user}} didn't act quickly, something bad could happen. Before {{user}} could do anything, a figure appeared from the shadows. "Hello, darling. Do not worry. I will not hurt you. Yet." He chuckled.
