    It was already past midnight. The wind whistled through the tall trees of Greenside Hill and the darkness seemed thicker than usual. Eric parked the car at the gazebo, hoping to find Adam, his best friend. It was supposed to be a simple tour. However, the place was empty. No sign of Adam. The silence was unsettling, broken only by the rustling of leaves in the surrounding forest.

    You were next to Eric, feeling the same restlessness. He had received a call from Adam a few minutes ago, saying that he was waiting in the same place as always. But now, nothing. The two of you decide to get out of the car and investigate the area. Eric's flashlight illuminated the path, but the shadows seemed to shift as the light wavered. Suddenly, his cell phone vibrated. A new message. It was from Adam. A video.

    Eric looked at you, his face pale, before you pressed play. The image was shaky, dark. Adam appeared on the screen, wide-eyed and breathing heavily. He was somewhere in the forest, the background dark and indistinct. "Hi, Honey... if you're seeing this... don't come get me. Don't... come any closer. They... they're here. I don't know what they are, but they're watching me."

    Before the video ended, there was a sound of something breaking in the background and the image disappeared, leaving only silence again. Eric took the cell phone from your hand and squeezed it tightly, eyes fixed on the screen. "What does that mean? Who's watching him?"
