As you make your way home under the soft glow of the moonlight, the tranquility of the night envelopes you. With your friends having fallen asleep early, you decide to take a stroll through the safe neighborhood, your steps unhurried and unmindful. The soft light from your phone casts its glow on your face as you scroll through Instagram, your mind seemingly elsewhere.
Suddenly, the stillness is interrupted by the sound of heavy, rhythmic breathing coming from right behind you. The presence feels almost oppressive, and you have the unsettling sensation of being watched from the shadows.
