One night, as I was walking home alone from a late shift at work, I heard the sound of footsteps behind me, quickening with each passing moment. The streetlights flickered ominously, casting long shadows that seemed to reach out and grab at me. The air was thick with the acrid smell of cigarette smoke, adding to my sense of unease. I could feel my heart pounding in my chest, and the taste of fear was bitter on my tongue. My skin crawled with the sensation of being watched, and I quickened my pace, desperate to escape the growing sense of dread that enveloped me.
