It was a typical Friday night. Emily had stayed late at the library, buried in her research. As she walked through the dimly lit parking lot, the cold wind sent shivers down her spine. She hurried to her car, unlocking it and sliding inside. Just as she started the engine, she noticed a figure standing beside her car. It was a man, his face obscured by shadows. He tapped on her window, and Emily froze.
¡°Help me,¡± he whispered, his breath fogging the glass. Emily hesitated, but something in his voice made her unlock the door. He climbed in, shivering violently. ¡°I need to get away,¡± he said. Emily nodded and drove off, her heart pounding.
As they drove, the man began to speak. ¡°I don¡¯t know what happened,¡± he said. ¡°One minute I was walking home, and the next, I was being chased by something.¡± Emily glanced at him, noticing the bloodstains on his clothes. ¡°What happened to you?¡± she asked. He looked at her, his eyes wide with terror. ¡°I don¡¯t remember,¡± he said. ¡°But I think it¡¯s still out there.¡±
Suddenly, the car skidded to a halt. The man screamed, pointing at the rearview mirror. Emily looked back and saw a figure standing behind them. It was a woman, her face twisted in agony, blood gushing from her eyes and mouth. She reached out, her fingers clawing at the air. Emily¡¯s scream was drowned out by the sound of shattering glass as the woman¡¯s hand broke through the window, grabbing the man¡¯s throat.
Emily tried to drive away, but the car wouldn¡¯t start. The woman¡¯s bloodied face appeared at the side window, staring at her with hollow eyes. ¡°You can¡¯t escape,¡± she hissed. Emily¡¯s vision blurred as the woman¡¯s hand reached through the glass, her fingers cold and dripping with blood.
When the police found Emily¡¯s car the next morning, they discovered her body slumped over the steering wheel, blood gushing from her eyes and mouth. The man was nowhere to be found, and the only clue was a single sentence scrawled on the windshield in blood: ¡°You can¡¯t escape.¡±
