The apocalypse

FADE IN: EXT. FOREST – NIGHT The forest is dark and quiet. The moon shines weakly through the trees. EVELYN runs fast. Her feet hit the ground hard. She looks scared. Branches hit her face, but she keeps running. EVELYN (breathing hard) Don’t stop… don’t stop… She looks back — nothing there, but she can feel something chasing her. She runs faster. Then—crack! Her leg hits a stick sticking out of the ground. She falls to the ground with a cry. Evelyn Ah She tries to get up, but then she sees a shadow in front of her. It looks like smoke, moving and changing shape. EVELYN Who’s there?! The shadow starts to take form like a person, but not right. Its arms are long. Its face is blurry. Evelyn’s eyes go wide. She starts crawling backward on the dirt. The shadow moves closer. It grabs her leg and pulls her toward a dark hole in the ground. EVELYN No! Let me go! Please fighting hard She kicks and fights, trying to break free, but the thing is too strong. It pulls out a knife. The blade shines in the moonlight. EVELYN No! Stop! The shadow stabs her. EVELYN (weak voice) Oh no… I don’t want to die again… The shadow drags her body into the hole. Then the forest goes quiet. FADE OUT. Got you, didn’t I? You thought Evelyn was about to make it out of that forest—nope! Not this time. If your heart’s still racing, good. You’ll need it. Because that was just the beginning. The real story hasn’t even started yet. Grab your popcorn, check under your bed, and maybe keep the lights on... Because what comes next will make you wish you could warn the others before they end up like Evelyn. Ready?
