In the dead of night, Sarah felt eyes piercing through her bedroom window.

A shadow, always at the periphery, haunted her every step.

The police dismissed her fears as paranoia, but the notes kept coming, each one more threatening than the last.

One evening, the shadow materialized into a figure, just beyond the glass.

Frantic, she called for help, but when the authorities arrived, there was nothing —

no evidence,

no fingerprints,

nothing but the chilling breeze of an open window.

The stalker, a ghost in the night, vanished without a trace, leaving Sarah to question her sanity.
