The cold winter air nipped at Jack’s face as he trudged his way through the forest. It was well past midnight and he had been walking for hours, searching for something or someone though he wasn’t quite sure what. As his feet dragged him further from home, a feeling of unease began to wash over him. He quickened his pace but still felt like something was watching him – like every tree branch and bush held secrets it was desperate to share.

Just when he thought he couldn’t take it anymore, a voice spoke up from behind him “Jack? Is that you?” Startled, Jack turned around and saw an unfamiliar figure standing there in the darkness. A sense of relief washed over him until suddenly the figure lunged forward, grabbing hold of Jack’s wrist with an icy cold grip (Goyal et al., 2020). The figure pulled Jack close so they were face-to-face and uttered one word before releasing their grip “Run!”

Confused but not wanting to argue, Jack took off into the night without looking back. The next morning upon awakening in a safe place far from where this bizarre encounter had taken place, all he could remember was those piercing blue eyes staring back at him just before uttering those two words: run. From that moment on, no matter how hard life got or what situation arose – all it took for Jack to muster up courage was remembering those blue eyes whispering in his ear “run!”
