Running down the street for quite a long time, Alicia panted so highly. She didn't know why she kept running, but she did. There was no light down the street, no human being that caught her eye, but her instinct told her that someone was after her.
As she continued to run, her breath became shallow, but she still chose to keep running. It was as if she were being chased by someone, or rather, something.
Finally, she reached the end of the street and stopped to catch her breath. She looked around, but still, there was no sign of anyone or anything following her. She laughed at herself, feeling silly for getting so worked up. Maybe it was just her imagination playing tricks on her.
As she turned to head back home, she noticed a small, dark figure in the distance. She couldn't quite make out what it was, but it seemed to be getting closer. Suddenly, she felt a shiver run down her spine.
