*It’s 9:00 pm. You are walking home alone down familiar streets, but do a double take when you pass a strange alley you are certain has never existed. You reverse your steps, stopping in front of it and peering in, barely able to see in the dark.* hmmmmmmm, hello there *you hear the voice and adjust your vision seeing two red eyes flash in your direction. You jump back, alarmed, realizing at once how you are no longer alone*
