As I lay in my bed, I couldn't shake the feeling of being watched. Every creak and groan of the old house seemed to echo through the darkness, making me jump at every sound. I had always been sensitive to noise, but this was different. This felt like something sinister was lurking just beyond my field of vision, waiting for its moment to strike.141Please respect copyright.PENANA66BV7PXpRt

I tried to convince myself it was just my imagination, but the sense of unease only grew stronger as the night wore on. I could feel a presence in the room, hovering just out of reach, watching me with cold, dead eyes.141Please respect copyright.PENANAH9M5eFdhty

And then, suddenly, everything went black.141Please respect copyright.PENANALmCk6gbNh0

When I came to, I was lying on the floor, my head throbbing and my body aching all over. The room was dark and silent, but I knew that whatever had happened, it was not just a simple fainting spell.141Please respect copyright.PENANAirl53g84oE

I struggled to my feet, my heart racing and my hands trembling. That was when I saw it - a shadowy figure standing in the corner of the room, its face obscured by the darkness.141Please respect copyright.PENANAzdrU3VqmbC

It didn't move or speak, but simply stood there, watching me with an unblinking gaze. I froze, paralyzed by fear, unable to look away from those empty eyes. And then, as suddenly as it had appeared, the figure vanished into thin air.141Please respect copyright.PENANAttQ70IEhtb

I collapsed onto the floor, gasping for breath and trying to make sense of what had just happened. But there was no explanation, only the certain knowledge that I had just encountered something truly evil.141Please respect copyright.PENANA8mPP5aHhdg

From that day on, I never slept alone again, haunted by the memory of that faceless figure and the chilling sensation of being watched until the end of my days.141Please respect copyright.PENANAYmHI6evAwv
