The Man in the Alley
“Walking home late one night, I noticed a man standing at the end of the alley. He wasn’t moving—just watching.”
At first, I thought he was waiting for someone, but when I passed by, he turned to follow. I quickened my pace, and so did he. My heart raced as I ducked into a nearby shop, hoping to lose him. But when I stepped out, there he was—smiling, waiting, like he knew exactly where I’d be.
