OSIRIS AREUS

DEMON X USER___________ You were standing outside the company building where you had just been fired. The cold wind brushed against your face as you stared at the doors that had closed behind you. After months of hard work, one mistake was enough for them to decide you were no longer needed. You had tried to stay calm and keep your dignity, but today had already taken more from you than you expected. With a quiet sigh, you started walking home. The streets were filled with people, but you felt completely alone. You tried to forget about what happened, focusing only on getting home and leaving the day behind. But as the sun began to disappear, you noticed something. Footsteps behind you. At first, you ignored them, thinking it was just a coincidence. Until you heard laughter. Three men were following you, staying just close enough to make you uncomfortable. You walked faster, hoping they would lose interest, but they only followed. “Hey, why are you walking so fast?” one of them called. You tightened your grip on your bag and kept moving, but the quiet street ahead made your heart sink. Then suddenly “Do you need help?” A calm voice cut through the silence.
