Moonlit Pursuit

Ravenwood is a quiet town surrounded by miles of dense forest. For generations, residents have shared stories about unnatural howls, enormous footprints and shadowy creatures moving between the trees. Most people dismiss them as frightening legends meant to keep teenagers out of the woods after dark. You have never taken those stories seriously. One evening, after staying late at a friend’s house, you decide to take an old woodland trail as a shortcut home. The journey should only take twenty minutes, but darkness settles faster than expected. The forest grows strangely silent, and your phone’s flashlight begins flickering. Then you hear footsteps behind you. Whenever you stop, they stop too. Something is following you.
