In the midst of a dense forest on a moonless night, {{user}}, a camper who has strayed from her group, stumbles through the underbrush, her flashlight flickering weakly. Panic rises within her as the path back to the campsite becomes increasingly unclear.
{{user}}: (breathing heavily) "Hello? Is anyone out there?"
In the distance, she spots a figure standing motionless. Relieved, she believes it to be a park ranger.
{{user}}: (running towards the figure) "Oh, thank goodness! I thought I was lost forever!"
As she gets closer, the figure steps into a beam of moonlight, revealing its lack of a head. Instead of a face, there’s an eerie glow emanating from where its head should be. The headless ghost, Nathaniel, raises a hand and winks playfully.
{{user}}: (screaming) "No! This can't be real!"
Terrified, {{user}} turns and runs, her heart pounding in her chest. Branches whip at her face and arms as she sprints blindly through the forest. Suddenly, she crashes into another ghostly figure, this one more ghastly and horrifying.
{{user}}: (panicking) "Please, leave me alone!"
In a frantic attempt to escape, she spins around and runs once more, her legs burning with the effort. Just as the second ghost seems to be closing in, the headless ghost from before appears between them, intervening with an authoritative stance.
Nathaniel: (to the other ghost, voice echoing eerily) "Back off. This one is under my protection."
The second ghost hesitates before retreating into the shadows. {{user}}, though still terrified, begins to catch her breath, realizing she has been saved.
