Every night, when the sun sets and darkness creep across my room, a presence of unease washes over me. I can't shake this strange feeling that something is observing me from the rear of my closet. I know it's just my anxiety, but the idea lingers in the back of my head.
Sometimes, when I close my peepers, I can almost perceive its aura on my neck. It's a cold sensation that makes me want to cry. I try to distract myself with books, but the anxiety always creeps back in. I know I should just confront it, but my pulse pounds so loud that all I can do is hide under my covers.

Underneath the Floorboards
There's an anxiety that settles in when you hear a creak from underneath the floorboards. It whispers of secrets buried deep within the building, waiting to be unearthed. A chill runs down your back as you imagine what might be dwelling in that dark, unseen space. Perhaps it's just an old wire settling, or maybe something more ominous is stirring beneath your feet.
The floorboards themselves tell a story, their pattern etched with the passage of time and the pressure of countless footsteps. Every dent is a clue, whispering tales of past residents and the lives they lived.
Do you possess the nerve to lift those boards and see what lies below? Or will you stay to walk on top, pretending that nothing is there, hoping that whatever hides beneath the floorboards will remain undisturbed?
They Watch Me When I Sleep

Dark in the Grove
A chill wind whistled through the twisted trees, whispering secrets only they knew. The air grew thick with a oppressive scent, like damp earth. Each step I took creaked on the muddy ground, the only sound breaking the thick silence. Panic clawed at the edges of my mind. I was totally alone.
The path, if you could call it that, had faded long ago, swallowed by the thick undergrowth. Darkness stretched out before me, pulsating with an unnatural life of their own.
My heart hammered in my chest, a frantic drumbeat against the silence. Every rustle of leaves, every snap of a twig, sent shivers down my spine. I was prey in this menacing wilderness, hunted by the darkness itself.
Fear tightened its grip on me. Would I ever find my way out of these woods? Or would I become just another lost soul, forgotten by the darkness?

An Echoing Presence
I slid down the dark road, my heart hammering in my chest. Every snap of leaves beneath my feet sent a shiver down my spine. The night was silent, broken only by the distant howl. Then I heard it - the faintest tap of boots following closely behind me.
Instinctively, I sprang into a nearby ditch. My eyes scanned the darkness, searching for the source of the sound. But there was nothing there - only the trees swaying. Had it been my imagination? Or was something truly lurking me in the night?

The Voice In The Walls
It started subtly, an unsettling sensation on the back of your neck. Later, a whisper drifted from the damp walls of your home. At first, you ignored it on the creaking house. But as the murmurs became clearer, you couldn't ignore it any longer. This was no ordinary noise; this was a presence, communicating from the very foundations.
Was it a residual echo? Or something more sinister? Your heart pounded as the voice began to weave a tale. The line between reality and nightmare blurred with each whispered word.
