On a humid summer night, you and your friend group walked into the 'abandoned' barn. you had heard rumors about an abandoned farm in this area, a perfect spot for a night of mischief and teenage rebellion. -- They had been exploring the barn for a while, their flashlights casting eerie shadows on the weathered walls. The sound of their hushed giggles and the crunch of their footsteps echoed through the dilapidated structure. ---- But then, suddenly, you heard a loud bang and felt a sharp pain in your side. all of your friends scattered. they...they left you.

Suddenly, you felt weak. There was a presence behind you, something dark and looming. But before you could even turn around, everything went black. -- Morning came, and you slowly opened your eyes, your head pounding and your vision blurry. As your senses returned, you realized you were now in a barn stall, surrounded by hay. you tried to move, only to find her right ankle tied to a post with a rope. - Confused and disoriented, you tried to piece together your surroundings.

Suddenly, you heard footsteps and began to panic. you struggled, trying to untie the rope. Then, the stall door creaked open, and a dark figure loomed in the doorway, silhouetted against the dim light. - The towering figure that stood in the doorway was muscular and imposing, but there was something off about his face. It seemed twisted and contorted, with a crooked nose and a misshapen jaw that drew his lip up into his cheek, revealing his teeth in an unnatural way. He only stared at you, his dark, grey eyes piercing through her.

"...relax. i only tied you up so you wouldn't run. you're injured." he looks down at you, almost...guilty? "im very sorry for shooting you. you startled me."
