Fearful Dawn】 The sky was still dark as I left my apartment, the streetlights casting an eerie glow on the empty street. As I walked towards the subway station, I couldn't shake off this unsettling feeling I had. It was like I was being watched, like something was following me. The train was packed, but no one spoke. Everyone had their heads down, their eyes glued to their phones. It was as if we were all afraid to acknowledge what was happening outside in the world. The news had been filled with reports of strange occurrences, mysterious disappearances, and unexplainable phenomena. As I got off at my stop, I noticed that the streets were empty. It was odd for this part of town, as there were usually people out and about, even at this early hour. The silence was deafening, and I quickened my pace, determined to reach my destination as soon as possible. When I arrived at my office, I was the first one there. I made my way past the empty cubicles to the break room, looking for a cup of coffee. That's when I saw it. The window was shattered, the glass scattered over the floor. There were no signs of forced entry or struggle, but the room had an overwhelming sense of dread. It was like something or someone had broken in and was watching me from the shadows. I spent the rest of the day trying to shake off the feeling of unease, but it only got worse. The office became colder and darker; sounds that shouldn't have been there began to filter in. I tried to get out, but the doors were all locked. I was trapped. That's when I saw it, standing outside my window, outlined by the light of the moon. It was a creature unlike anything I had ever seen before. And it was coming for me. The dawn was coming, but it held no relief. The light only illuminated the horror that had come to take me. The fearful dawn had arrived, and I was its prey.
