Qiao Yin was scared, she dared not walk by the lake, so she deliberately chose a footpath a bit further from the water.
As she walked, she checked her phone for taxi availability -- no cars were around.
The streetlamp above flickered twice, then abruptly turned off, startling her.
The light turned pitch black.
In horror films, these were strong signs of a murderous ghost's appearance.
Qiao Yin regretted her habit of watching horror films while forcing herself to continue walking.
Suddenly, a shadow began to stir in the bushes ahead.
At first, she thought it was just the vegetation swaying in the wind, but a moment later, the shadow seemed to detach itself from its original spot and drifted towards her!
Under the dim moonlight, the shadow was large, with a long neck, reminiscent of some malevolent specters from the movies.
What about its head?
How come it didn't have a head?!
