I try to distract myself with games, but the anxiety always creeps back in. I know I should just face it, but my heart pounds so loud that all I can do is tremble under my blanket.

The path, if you could call it that, had vanished long ago, swallowed by the impenetrable undergrowth. Gloom stretched out before me, wavering with an unnatural life of their own.
My heart throbbed 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 unsettling wilderness, hunted by the darkness itself.

I slid down the dark road, my heart thumping in my chest. Every rustle of leaves beneath my feet sent a shiver down my spine. The night was silent, broken only by the chirping crickets. Then I heard it - the faintest tap of footsteps 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 hunting me in the night?
