The worst part isn’t the dark.

It’s the certainty that something knows you’re there.

Your phone screen flickers again—no signal, no service… yet the message updates.

📍 Location updated: Still with you.

The air feels heavier now, like it’s pressing in from all sides. You try to steady your breathing, but it echoes too loudly in your ears.

So you stop walking.

And the footsteps?

They stop too.

Right beside you.

Close enough that you can almost feel the presence—like someone standing shoulder to shoulder… just out of sight.

Your screen glitches.

For a split second, the black reflection shows you—

Two silhouettes.

Yours…

…and one that’s leaning slightly toward you.

Then the sound comes.

Not from behind.

Not from ahead.

But right next to your ear.

A whisper, dry and cracked:

“Don’t look at me.”

Your phone vibrates violently in your hand.

📍 Final location shared.

You didn’t move.

But the map did.

It zooms in… closer… closer…

Until the pin isn’t on the road anymore.

It’s on you.

And beneath it, a label appears:
