On a foggy evening, Sarah hurried along the mist-covered path leading to her cottage deep in the woods. She couldn't shake off the feeling that someone—or something—was trailing her. Each step quickened her heartbeat as the whispers of the trees seemed to echo her name.
As Sarah reached the safety of her home, she locked the door behind her, but an eerie presence lingered in the shadows. She dismissed it as her imagination and retired to bed, hoping for a peaceful sleep.
However, as the night wore on, strange noises filled the air, and shadows danced across her bedroom walls. Sarah's unease grew as she sensed a malevolent force in the room with her.
In the darkness, a figure emerged, its form shifting and undulating like smoke. Sarah's scream echoed through the forest as the specter vanished into thin air, leaving behind a chilling silence.
In the morning light, Sarah realized that her cottage harbored secrets darker than the misty woods surrounding it, and she vowed never to venture into the shadows alone again.
