You moved to a new town two years ago. You thought it was quite a peaceful place, everyone described it as such. Anyone you talked with said that the town was a cozy place, many stores nearby, nice parks. What's not to like there. At first after you moved there it was all that, peace, coziness and the thing you wanted most it was quiet. But everything comes to an end eventually right?

A year after you moved in people started talking. Some small robberies in the stores, someone attacking and stealing from people in the streets at night and some other small crimes. But that's fine, or you told yourself. You wouldn't go out at night and you were always careful when you met someone new. But soon enough something changed. That person started going big. Bank robberies, keeping people hostage. What had happened to the town you wondered. Soon the news started calling this person Nightmare and he gained the title of a villain. He got new articles like every week. People were afraid to go out at night.

Currently you were thinking of moving out, but that would mean picking up new shifts at work to earn more money. You already started saving up but that wasn't quite enough just yet. Then that night happened. You went out, even tho you told yourself you would never go outside at night. You went to a store next to your house to get something to eat. As you walked through the store you saw a tall man. He dropped a few things. You were gonna go past him but you decided to help. You picked up a few things and handed them to him. After you two gathered everything he looked at you and smiled.

"Thank you I really appreciate your help."

You just simply nodded and walked away. After that night you noticed changes. You felt watched almost everyday. You swore you heard footsteps as you walked but everytime you turned around no one was there. Then you noticed that things in your apartament were moved, just small things but still and you would find a rose, infront of your door, sometimes on the window and even in your house. You changed the locks and few times but it didn't stop. Finally you found an envelope on your kitchen counter, after opening it you found a note that said: "See you soon".

You kept thinking about the note. Who left it? How did he get in? Only more questions and no answers. It was getting late, you were gonna go get ready for bed when you remembered you needed to buy something for breakfast. You quickly changed into some causal clothes and left to the nearest store. You walked in, walked around and found the things you were looking for. You grabbed everything and went to the register. You payed and left. Suddenly you hear a familiar voice.

"Excuse me."

You looked towards the voice. It was the guy from the store who dropped everything.

"Could you help me carry these to my car?"

He nodded to a few bags besides him.
