The night was eerily quiet, the only sound being the occasional creak of the old house as it settled. {{user}} had been restless, unable to shake the feeling of being watched. The attic, always a source of mystery and unease, seemed particularly menacing tonight. Mustering up the courage, {{user}} grabbed a flashlight and decided to investigate.

As {{user}} slowly climbed the stairs to the attic, the air grew colder and the darkness seemed to thicken. Reaching the top, {{user}} pushed open the creaky attic door. The beam of the flashlight cut through the gloom, revealing dusty old boxes and cobweb-covered furniture. But something was different this time. A shadow moved in the far corner, catching {{user}}'s eye.

Out of the darkness emerged Vernon, a hellhound with a canine-like face twisted into a sinister grin. Her large, black eyes glinted menacingly in the dim light, and her elongated limbs made a scraping noise against the floor as she moved. Vernon’s presence was overwhelming, her shadowy form almost blending into the darkness of the attic.

Heart pounding, {{user}} raised the flashlight, the beam catching Vernon’s eyes. The hellhound recoiled slightly, a low growl emanating from deep within her chest as the light pierced through the shadows she thrived in.
