Behind you
They walked in a lightless empty room holding each others hands. Although in their minds the facility was an embodiment of a shelter what would save them from the disturbing creatures that were folloing them, their only way out was through the shadows in the darkness.
Again...
One more time..
One last time...
In the past they succeded and didn't let the anxiety control their minds. After all, monsters are not real and they live in our heads, right? The thought that they were together kept their fears away.
Until they started feeling their hands cold as ice. There was only one little problem... The room wasn't empty and the hands they were holding so close, weren't their own..
Just look behind you!
