It was a dark and stormy night and the wind was howling. Mary was running down the street trying to make it home before the storm got any worse. As she was running she heard something strange in the distance. It sounded like a low moaning coming from the forest beside her. Alarmed, she quickly changed her route and headed in the opposite direction.

As she made her way home, she heard the moaning getting closer and closer. Frightened, she started running faster, but no matter how fast she ran, it seemed like the moaning was still just behind her. Suddenly, a hand shot out from the darkness and grabbed her arm. She screamed and tried to pull away, but the hand wouldn’t let go.

When she looked up to the face of her assailant, she was horrified. The figure’s skin was grey and rotten, and its eyes were glowing red. It looked like some kind of undead creature. She screamed again, this time in terror, and the figure suddenly jerked her towards it and opened its lips to reveal razor sharp teeth.

She managed to break away and quickly ran in the opposite direction. On and on she ran, with the sound of the thing’s screaming and moaning echoing in the air behind her. Finally, she made it home and slammed the door shut just in time. The creature vanished into the night and Mary was safe.

But to this day, she still has nightmares of that terrifying night and the undead creature that haunted her.
