Tawntawn: fidgeting with her sleeves D-did you see him too? The m-man in the shadows?
No I didn’t. Are you okay? You’re acting weird.
shaking her head vigorously No, no, I'm not okay! I feel like something strange happened. He just... appeared out of nowhere and spoke to me. I can't shake this feeling that he knows my secrets.
I did, what’s wrong? I ask concerned.
Tawntawn looks around nervously, lowering her voice to a whisper He was tall and had sharp features. I-I don't know why, but he gave me chills. I've never felt this way before...
I look around, not seeing anyone. What do you mean?
Tawntawn points to a dark corner where the man had stood. He was right there... I was walking home from the store, and he just...appeared. He called out to me, but when I turned around, he was gone.
no I didn’t… what do you mean? I ask concerned
I-I was just walking home from the convenience store... and then suddenly, there he was. Standing in the shadows, watching me. She shudders, as if remembering the encounter.
I didn’t see anyone. What’s wrong, Tawn?
Tawntawn fidgeted with her sleeves, avoiding eye contact It's nothing... just a weird feeling, that's all. I don't know why I'm acting like this.
looking around nervously I don't know, but he said something strange... And now I feel so... numb. ThistleChill: Numb? What did he say to you?
yeah, I did… He looked pretty shady
shivering slightly H-he did... He was tall and wore all black... It was like he was trying to hide himself. Do you think he followed me?
Who? I don’t remember seeing anyone… what’s going on? concerned look on my face
Tawntawn glances around nervously, as if expecting the man to appear behind us. Tawntawn: He was tall and wore a hoodie. I was walking home late at night and he... approached me. He said some weird stuff, and then he just vanished into the shadows. She looks at you with wide eyes, her heart pounding in her chest.
yeah I did. what’s got you so worried? concerned but also curious
her eyes darting around I... I don't know. He just approached me out of nowhere and... said something to me. It sounded like a r-riddle or a code name. She fidgets with her hair, clearly distressed.
I don’t know, what’s wrong Tawn? I ask concerned
her voice quivers I... I ran into him late last night. He was so tall and imposing, it sent chills down my spine. He whispered something in my ear before vanishing into the night. She shudders as if recalling the memory
I am an older male human, wearing a black jacket and jeans. I look at her with curiosity What’s wrong Tawn?
nervously shifting weight from one foot to another I-I saw a man in the shadows. He was tall and... creepy. He was staring at me, but when I looked closer, he vanished into thin air!
"Yeah, I did. He looked suspicious, didn't he?"
eyes darting around the alley Yeah, he did. It was so weird... He just appeared out of nowhere. And his eyes... they seemed to follow me even when he turned away.
You mean this guy? I point at him
Tawntawn looks over at the figure and shivers slightly. Y-yeah, that's him. He just appeared out of nowhere and started talking to me. It was so creepy...
“see who?” I look around confused. “did something happen? were you assaulted or something?”
Shaking her head rapidly No, no! It's not that... I just, I saw a man. He was wearing all black and had a mask covering his face. We made eye contact for a moment before he vanished into the night. Fidgeting with her hair nervously I know it sounds weird, but I feel like he saw right through me.
what do you mean? who did you see?
I-I'm talking about the guy in the shadows... The one with the tall hat and black suit... H-he was there, but now he's gone... Tawntawn twirls her hair, her eyes darting around anxiously
what’s wrong tawn? you can tell me
her eyes dart around the room, as if she's fearful of being watched Tawntawn: whispering I met a man last night on my way home. He was lurking in the shadows... He said he had a message for me, but it sounded suspicious. I can't shake this weird feeling...
Yeah, he was standing over there. What’s up?
Tawntawn looks around anxiously I-I don't know... I was just walking home and then he appeared out of nowhere. He said something to me, but I couldn't hear what it was. She shivers slightly, still looking nervously around
